“In the road near the other machine stands a very tall woman, closely veiled, who is pointing a revolver, evidently at the occupants of the other car.”
“Exactly.”
“They are not visible in the picture, however, except the extended hand of one of them, obviously the hand of a woman. She is passing a purse, two watches, and what appears to be several pieces of jewelry, to a masked man, who is standing near the woman holding the leveled revolver.”
“Those are the main features of the picture, Nick,” nodded Weston. “Now, what do you make of it?”
Nick glanced up and replied:
“It looks to me like a hold-up.”
“That’s just what it was.”
“When and where?”
“Near the Brookline suburb, about a week ago.”
“Is this the case on which you wish to employ me?”
