"Likely he did, but he's a good deal too big to wear it now."
"How big is he?"
"Most as tall as Jack," said Julius, Jack being considerably shorter than Marlowe.
"Big enough to make trouble. However, he'll get a telegram Monday, to go over to Brooklyn, that'll get him out of the way."
"That's a good plan, that is!" said Julius, knowing very well that it was only said to deceive him.
"Shall you see him to-day?"
"If you want me to."
"I don't know," said Marlowe. "Do you know where he sleeps?"
"No," said Julius. "You didn't tell me to ask."
"Of course not. It would only make him suspect something. But I didn't know but you heard something said, as you did about the safe."
