Chick told the driver to cross Broadway and, driving to Sixth Avenue, to go down that avenue until the Herald Building was reached.
Having done this, he asked the young woman what was the meaning of her movements.
“I want you to tell me,” she said, “whether you have found anything about the whereabouts of Mr. Ellison.”
“No,” replied Chick, “we have only just begun the search.”
“Do you know why he so suddenly disappeared?”
“No,” replied Chick, “if we did, we would not be long in finding where he is.”
“You will find it difficult to find him. You are following up the Ladew woman for that purpose.”
Chick turned to look at the woman, but her head was turned away, as if she was in deep thought. She continued:
“I don’t think you will find much in following her up. He has broken with her.”
“Then he knew her and was in relation with her?” asked Chick.
