Will you drive? he said. Yes. What do you think hes doing here? Stone asked. Youll be among the first, I said and turned away. Shut up, Mason said. Listen. We havent much time. Doexactly as I tell you. Have the cab drive around several streets while you look at different houses. When the meter registers a dollar and sixty-five cents, have him turn around and drive back in the direction of the place where you have parked your car. Under no circumstances are you to say anything more than the bare necessities to the taxi driver. Be sure and get Ruth to pay off the cab. Encourage her to talk with the cab driver as much as possible, and when the meter reaches two dollars and ninety-five cents, apparently come to the last place you were looking for. Stop the driver and have Ruth pay off the cab. Tell Ruth to give him three dollars and a half, and youll pay her later. Do you understand all that? Now wait a minute, Drake said. Dont blow a gasket over this thing, Perry. Im simply asking you. Id like very much to have that information. It would simplify my investigative work. What kind of scrap iron? Stone called Rick La Rose, the CIA station chief in Paris. Well, thats the way I did feel about it, but Im kind of mixed up now. Im sort of going around in circles. To tell you the truth, I don’t knowwhen I saw her. I got your Christmas card. Did you get mine? Yours was really quite clever. What time was it when you made the discovery of the body? Yeah, why? If the Court please, Mason said, I intend to connect this up. I will assure the Court that this is a very vital part of my defence. I want this witness to get the list of numbers on those revolvers and to check the revolvers. I want a complete inventory. Yes. Oookay, Joan said slowly. Is it okay if its faster than that? What conclusion did you reach? We grew up together. And I thought it would be good for Michelle..
