The preliminaries did not consume much time, and Penfield's manner was brisk as he addressed his assistant. "Did you make a post-mortem examination of Turnbull?" he asked.
What have you got to say about it?" His tone was truculent, and Carlsen did not appear disposed to check him. He appeared not quite certain of the temper of the hunters. Deming, like Rainey, evidently chafed under the preliminaries. "You figger we're all equal aboard," said Lund slowly, "leavin' out Mr. Rainey, Tamada an' Sandy.
Rad beckoned to him and the two turned together across the lawn toward the laurel walk. It was an hour or so later that Rad presented himself at my door. His colloquy with Mose had increased rather than lessened the mystified look on his face. He waited for no preliminaries this time, but plunged immediately into the matter that was on his mind.
