"I mean that you won't last an hour after the story of this night's work gets out." Grady's colour slowly faded as he met the burning and contemptuous gaze Godfrey turned upon him. As for me, an awful fear had gripped my heart. "Do you mean to say it wasn't Piggott?" stammered Grady, at last. Godfrey laughed scornfully. "No, you blithering idiot!" he said. "It wasn't Pigot.

Marion accepted the invitation joyfully.

She had to wait a tedious hour before she saw a flivver rattling up with the garage man, who wasn't a man at all, but a fourteen-year-old boy. He snorted, "Rats, you didn't need to send for me. Could have made it perfectly safe. Come on." Never has the greatest boy pianist received such awe as Claire gave to this contemptuous young god, with grease on his peachy cheeks. She did come on.
