The fat mottled fingers sought a waistcoat pocket and, fumbling therein, touched caressingly a little pellet of soft paper.
His manner was enough; even the obtuse detective could not ignore it. Maitland had no need to speak. "I'm sorry, sir," he said, standing his ground manfully but with a trace more of respect in his manner than had theretofore characterized it, "but there's uh gentleman uh your fren' Bannerman's outside 'nd wants tuh speak tuh yeh." "Tell him to " "Excuse me. He says he's gottuh see yeh.
