“What didja find out, Jim?”
Jim Langley helped himself to a generous cut of beef and leaned aside to let One-Eye Connell pour him a cup of coffee.
“Didn’t find out a thing, Jess.”
“Yuh seen Hartley, yuh say?” queried Jess Fohl.
“Yeah, I saw him. One-Eye, this coffee is cold.”
“Yuh didn’t give me time to heat her, Jim. We had supper two hours ago. You didn’t say when you’d come back.”
“Heat the stuff up a little, will yuh?”
“What did Hartley want yuh for, Jim?” asked Briggs.
“Not a thing! I think you and One-Eye are loco.”
“Like hell!” snorted Briggs. “Leave it to One-Eye if he didn’t say he came to see yuh. He even wanted to wait for yuh. Ain’t that right, One-Eye?”
