"What do you mean?"
"I told you at noon that she was not to be disturbed for several days yet."

"Well, I told the boy who telephoned for you."
"I have not authorized anyone to telephone for me.
"What? Why, someone telephoned in your name, and you have been such a nuisance about the case that I thought of course it was you again."
"Did you happen to mention the lady's name, or only her initials?" asked Lyon.

"I can't say," Barry answered, with some constraint.
