Oscar went away. He had gotten up so as to be recognized. He sauntered on to Broadway when a lady approached. She was veiled and she asked:
"Is this Mr. Oscar Dunne?"
The detective was taken a little aback, but answered:
"May I inquire why you ask?"
"If this is Mr. Oscar Dunne, the detective, I have some business with you."
"We will suppose I am the man you seek; what is your business?"
"Will you accompany me?"
"No."
"I thought you were a detective."
"Suppose I am."
