“ Mr. Hollander get there yet?”
“He’s just this minute after arriving, sir. He’s upstairs with Dr. Worth now.”
“Did he identify himself all right?”
“He did that, Lieutenant, with cards and a driver’s licence.”
“Good. I’ll be along in about an hour now. Goodbye.”
He was helped by the bitter wind as he walked east to Broadway. He found a taxi and gave the driver Hollander’s address on East Fifty-second Street. He settled back and closed his eyes. He went to sleep.
