“No, it was another client.”
“Who?”
“It has nothing to do with this case,” Mason said, “and, as it happens, I didn’t get the address.”
“Then how’d you happen to come here?”
“I wanted to see Cullens.”
“And you decided you wanted to see him right after you found out you couldn’t get that other address?”
Mason said, “As a matter of fact, I looked up Cullens’ address in the telephone book in the drug store.”
Holcomb said, “Okay, you birds can go... And remember, Drake, your license is coming up one of these days.”
