“You don’t even care to know the name of the garage?”
“What good would it do?”

“You don’t want to know the name of the place?” Louise persisted.
“Yes, I do. On second thought, it might be well worth while to find out what I can about Black Market operations in tires.”

“It’s going to give you a real shock to learn the name of the place,” Louise went on.
“I’m shock proof by this time,” answered Penny. “Let ’er fly.”
But Louise was unwilling to divulge the information over the telephone.
