Why should he, Mallowe, take me into his confidence about an affair which took place in his private office? He did not make the excuse of pretending to retain me as his attorney.

'I've got one of them in there, a filing clerk." "'Then you'd better get rid of her before she tries any tricks, Mr. Carlis said.
