Cindy, who still felt uneasy, turned suddenly to see three men rising from a table behind them. Two, who looked like rogues, she had never seen before. The third, unmistakably, was Tom LaMott. Cindy nudged Alec in the ribs.
"Look!"
"What?" Alec asked.
"The man with cat's eyes! And he heard every word we said!"
"What of it?"
"I don't like it!" Cindy exclaimed.
"Cindy! For heavens' sake! He has a right to be here!"
"I still don't like it!"
"Maybe you don't like your dinner, either," said Alec, "but here it is."
