Have him tell Larkin to come to his office. Well, you might say I have a professional interest in what happened to Arch Mix. No, I dont. But I think I finally know where it might be. Id like to hear your version. He listened to words which came rattling from the receiver, said,Well, thats a lot better! Give me some more facts. Well... I suppose I was. Now in heres the room where it happened, the sheriff said. The bloodstains still on the floor. They wiped up the blood, but the stain itself will have to be sanded out. Jenny was the tall brunette with the wise eyes and she and the Senator must have used telepathy to communicate, because as soon as we were seated she came into the office bearing a tray with two cups of coffee.You use one spoonful of sugar, dont you, Mr. Longmire? she said and gave me another one of her wry smiles. Imagine the Americans surprise when the case came up in the foreign court. The businessman got on the stand and swore that he had loaned the American this sum of money and then called five witnesses two of them swore that they had seen the money loaned to the American, and three of them testified that the American had told them about having borrowed the money from this foreign businessman and hoped to be able to pay it back out of profits.

Uh-huh, she was, now that I think about it. She was especially interested in what Arch talked about just before we broke up. She kept coming back to that with the excuse that maybe there was something in what hed said that would give me some clue about why it really happened. I mean our bust-up. So I told her what hed said as best as I could remember. She seemed like a totally different person now. He also had the impression that perhaps the Jill Tapshaw he thought he knewwas an act. Maybe this was the real version..
