She said, “I went to Oakview on business. It’s my business. It’s none of yours.”
“We’re not interested in the business, only in your reason for taking another name.”
“It wasn’t another name. It’s my name.”
“I’m afraid I couldn’t make that stick.”
She said, “All right. I went there to get some information about someone.”
“Can you give me the name of the party?”
“No.” She hesitated long enough to drop the ashes off her cigarette, and then went on: “A man sent me to Oakview to get some dope about his wife.”
“I’d like to check that. Can you give me his name and address?”
I can, but I won’t.”
