“Probably not.”
“That’s all I wanted to know. I’m disappointed she isn’t here, however.”
“She said there was nothing more she could do. Since Roberta had been located, it was simply a question of cleaning up details.”
“Well, in a way, that’s right. You certainly are fast workers. They told me at the desk that Mrs. Cool had checked out last night about seven o’clock. She didn’t leave last night, did she?”
“No. This morning.”
“But she checked out last night?”
I said, “That’s right. She got an apartment down in the French Quarter. She thought it would be more centrally located for our investigations. She was to stay down there, while I stayed up here.”
“Oh, I see. Where is this apartment?”
“I can’t tell you exactly. It’s one of those apartments where you go in one street, wind around through half a dozen turns and twists, and come out on another. Or are you familiar with the French Quarter?”
“No.”
