“Where did you ring her up from?”

“The house, but I didn’t dare say much.”

“How long were you there after you telephoned?”

“No time at all. Telephoning her was the last thing I did in the house. I rushed to the airport, where I called Rita again and told her everything.”

“Did you come here in a regular plane, or a chartered plane?”

“No, I flew to San Francisco, and then took a plane to Reno.”

Mason jerked his head toward Jimmy Driscoll and said, “How about you?”

“He came too,” she said.

“On the same plane?”

Rosalind nodded.
