goggles and a cap pulled down over his head so that he was
practically unrecognisable. The girl might have been Miss Curtis

bothered much with them; no one had taken their number; no one had
paid any attention where they went after the ferry landed. In

what he can do toward getting me admitted to this gilded palace of
dope up there on Forty-fourth Street.
