- FISH EYES
- Wallace's face twitched, ever so slightly. "No, sir."
- Cliff steeled himself to impassivity. "Miss Phyllis Robinson."
- The girl shuddered. "Ugh! He's horrid. Like a jellyfish."
- She commenced to cry. "Cliff----"
- The eyelids dropped slowly, then opened even more slowly. "Huh?"
- HOMESPUN SILK
- The meter was consulted--a mere matter of form. "Dollar forty."
- Hanvey's bushy eyebrows arched in surprise. "Why, me, of course."
- It was patent that Sherwood was very much on guard. "Done what?"
- Sherwood was more at ease. "What makes you think I got that stuff?"
- The other man smiled. "That much is fairly common knowledge."
- And now--"You're working for the insurance company aren't you, Jim?"
- Sherwood smiled. "You're not going to arrest me, Jim."
- Sherwood was unimpressed. "You can't find the jewels, Jim."
- Sherwood shrugged. "I'll just have to wait then."
- Sherwood nodded frankly. "Yes."
- Sherwood laughed weakly. "They are. Mighty clever."
- Hanvey shook his head slowly. "Nope."
- A steely light crept into his eyes. "You will! You must!"
- COMMON STOCK
- HELEN OF TROY, N. Y.
- Said he, "Once seen, never forgotten."
- CAVEAT EMPTOR
- She nodded. "Smuggling."
- Jim nodded heavily. "I see.... Lathrop was dishonest. Even with Tim."
- Jim sighed. "I reckon they do. But I like 'em."
- The girl made a wry face. "Ugh! Nasty little minx."
- Jim nodded in satisfaction. "Good."
- Her eyes burned into his, her voice trembled. "Teddy Nelson!"
- Jim's head inclined. "Have you?"
- Unconsciously, she lowered her tone. "He's got the Rawlings' pearls."
- Mary had the grace to blush. "I'm sorry about that, Jim."
- She designated the library door. "What'll I do, Jim?"
- Hanvey grinned. "You're a hard egg, Teddy."
- Nelson eyed the detective levelly. "Straight, Jim?"
- THE KNIGHT'S GAMBIT
- Jim sighed disappointedly. "Thought not...."
- Jim leaned forward in his chair. "Me? How can I help?"
- A shade of annoyance flashed across the man's face. "My name is Warren."
- Jim's voice was mildly reproving. "Don't you know?"
- She arched her brows in surprise. "Certainly."
- Weston was deeply apologetic. "You insisted that I hit you hard."
- PINK BAIT
- Tommy Braden laughed lightly. "You amuse me, Mickey; truly you do."
- He started visibly. "What's that?"
- Susie was annoyed. "Now listen at me, Gus--"
- She flushed. "Not to that extent."
- Tommy frowned slightly. "I judge you have reference to my pearls?"
- Tommy nodded. "Yes. That is exactly what they cost me."
- Tommy frowned. "What's that?"
- Tommy's voice was crisp. "Just make the check out to Thomas M. Braden."
- Braden was relieved. "Landed your man?"
- Tommy Braden sat down very suddenly. "The--the what?"
- Tommy stared. He moistened dry lips with his tongue. "Go ahead, Jim."
- Tommy Braden had the grace to laugh. He clasped Jim Hanvey's hand--
