ARE you in an embarrassing position? Anything, anywhere, any time, regardless of nature or location. Everybody’s friend. Consultation at all hours. Suite 152, Owl Building, Brooklyn.
The car was nearing Brooklyn Bridge. Average Jones saw his man drop lightly off. He followed and at the bridge entrance caught him up.
“You’ve left your paper,” he said.
The stranger whirled quickly. “Right,” he said. “Thanks. Perhaps you can tell me where the Owl Building is.”
“Are you going there?”
“Yes.”
“I wouldn’t.”
A slight wrinkle of surprise appeared on the man’s tanned forehead.
“Perhaps you wouldn’t,” he returned coolly.
“In other words, ‘mind your business’,” said Average Jones, with a smile.
