“Nor Sandy Pete?”
“No.”
“Nor Jim Noonan?”
“I did not.”
“How about Demas Lorton? Did you see him?”
“No. But it so chanced that I heard of him only last night.”
“What about him?”
“Nothing special. I only heard a couple of chaps speaking of him and wondering what had become of him. It is said that he has not been seen around the city for a month or more.”
“Did the men who said this know who you were?”
“No. Why?”
