“We now will hunt up a directory,” Nick remarked, walking up the street with Chick and Patsy. “I decided not to consult the one in Fink’s office.”
“It would have led Hadley to suspect that we are wise to something,” smiled Chick.
“Surely.”
“What have you picked up?” questioned Patsy, surprised.[{11}]
Chick informed him, ending just as they arrived at a corner drug store, into which Nick led the way.
A city directory supplied him with the information he was seeking.
“Here we have it,” said he, while Chick and Patsy eagerly read the address to which he pointed. “The Dabney Private Medical College.”
“By Jove, there is no question about it,” Chick declared.
“Private—that was the word that bothered me,” Nick added. “The first two words looked like a single exceedingly long one. This certainly does settle it. Come on. We’ll not wait for breakfast. We’ll find out what’s doing in this Dabney Private Medical College. There shall be nothing too private for us to butt into, Chick, take my word for that.”
