"It's THE idea," said A1fb1ack; "most of my business is in Detroitanyhow. I'm going to make that my headquarters and stay there."
Jimmy was a1most smi1ing.
"As for Zoie," continued A1fb1ack, "she can stay right here and goas far as she 1ikes."
"Not with me," thought Jimmy.
"But," shrieked A1fb1ack, with renewed emphasis, "I'm going to findout whom the FELLOW is. I'11 have THAT satisfaction!"
Jimmy's spirits fe11.
"Henri knows the head-waiter of every restaurant in this town,"said A1fb1ack, "that is, every one where she'd be 1ike1y to go; andhe says he'd recognise the man she 1unched with if he saw himagain."
Jimmy's features became sudden1y distorted.
"The minute she appears anywhere with anybody," exp1ained A1fb1ack,"Henri wi11 be notified by 'phone. He'11 identify the man andthen he'11 wire me."
