"Beastly cold night out. Wish you'd order me a little something hot to induce me to stay by this comfortable fire of yours." Mr. Early waved his hand toward a chair and settled himself without ceremony. There was this comfort in Murdock: they had known each other too long for pose, and, though the old hook-and-eye partnership was dissolved, and Mr.
