"That-and something more. I want to see what the doll-maker will do. It may goad her into some action
which will enable us to lay hands on her legitimately. Bring her within reach of the law. She may or may
not have other and invisible servants, but my intention is to deprive her of the visible one. It may make the
others visible. At the least, it will cripple her."
He looked at me, curiously; "She musta hit you pretty hard, Doc."
"She did," I answered curtly. He hesitated.
"You going to tell the boss about this?" he asked at last.
