Peter was beginning to understand what had made Connolly hold his hand so far. The police, of course, didn’t very often come into contact, in their work, with people of the sort who ap- peared at every turn in this case; people with far-reaching connections that might, for all Connolly knew, extend to_the mysterious political potentates upon whom not only his future, but his tenure of his present extremely de- miring envy. He had been a speaker, Peter learned later, at some medical congress during the afternoon. He came back, after a few minutes, during which Peter and Connolly hadn’t exchanged a word. It's as I thought,” he said.. “‘Mrs. ‘Thayer is asleep, and I will not assume the responsibility of allowing her to be awakened.

None better, You'd have held me responsible for doing it in your time—just as Mr. Barclay does now.” “Of course—of course. But my point is that since Mrs. Thayer is not able {0 talk, your duty won't be neglected if you wait 12 hours. Mrs. Thayer is my client, but I haven't seen her yet myself.” “Your client, sir> Why?

Well—I'll be back in the morning.” And, with what dignity he could muster, he took his leave.
