Then, n= Mariushka knocked at the the door behind her. She was looking about at the disordered studio with 2 curious expression in her dark eyes.

Besides, that towel was too incrim- inating a piece of evidence to let out of his own hands. Not that he dis- trusted Mariushka. But one could it be all right if I leave you alone here?” he asked. “Yes,” said Mariushka. you?” “1 speak no English,” she inter- rupted grimly. “Have no fear. From me no one will learn anything.” Meeting her glance, he believed her, “Good. Don't let anyone in if you can avoid it and be sure to lock the door after you when you go.

He drove next to East 67th street where Austrelitz had a small house. He had built it to suit his own peculiar requirements. On the right, as you entered, there was a com- fortably furnished waiting room with up-to-date periodicals about , and. plenty of ash trays. Opposite, across’ the hall, was the doctor's consulting room, In the rear, running the width of the house was « perfectly.equipped model surgery. the second story, the doctor had his living, and sleep- ing quarters and_on the floor above that, the servants were housed. A Filipino boy—very neat and well-groomed looking in his white house clothes—opened the door to Bigelow and resently ushered him up the stairs and into the sunny sitting room where the doctor was having a belated breakfast. His feet were thrust into biack sandals and he had a heavily embroidered black and gold Japanese robe over his white silk pajamas. “Another cup, Felipo,” he said as he nodded at Bigelow.
