Mollie sent him to the Mandilips. There is one awkward thing, however-unless Ricori told her yesterday,
she does not know her brother is dead."
"That's right," he nodded. "He gave orders about that."
"If he did not tell her, you must not."
"You're holding back quite a lot, ain't you, Doc?" He drew himself up to go.
"Yes," I said, frankly. "But I've told you enough."
"Yeah? Well, maybe." He regarded me, somberly. "Anyway, I'll soon know if the boss broke the news
to Mollie. If he did, it opens up the talk natural. If he didn't-well, I'll call you up after I've talked to her.
Hasta luego."
With this half-mocking adieu he took his departure. I went over to the remains of the doll upon the table.
