know the time, it was two o'clock. Mollie got me on the 'phone about an hour ago an' I come straight
up."
"She had better luck than I had," I said, dryly. "Ricori's people have been trying to get hold of you since
one o'clock last night."
"I know. But I didn't know it till just before Mollie called me. I was on my way to see you. An' if you
want to know what I was doing all night, I'll tell you. I was out on the boss's business, an' yours. For one
thing trying to find out where that hell-cat niece keeps her coupe. I found out-too late."
"But the men who were supposed to be watching-"
"Listen, Doc, won't you talk to Mollie now?" he interrupted me, "I'm afraid for her. It's only what I told
her about you an' that you was coming that's kept her up."
