Blaine had done for him was personal, not political, and that if his, Lamar's, party was in any respect the beneficiary thereof, it was merely incidental. At any rate, it was utterly impossible for him to serve Mr. Blaine in a political way.
What were they playing and just exactly what was each doing at the time of Miss Lamar's collapse?" "Well" Werner's eyes shifted to mine, then to Mackay's, and there was a subtle lack of ease in his manner which I was hardly prepared to classify as yet "Stella Lamar was playing the part of Stella Remsen, the heroine, and uh, I see your associate has the script " He paused, glancing at me again.
"The negress didn't know a thing so far as the crime is concerned," Kennedy went on, "but I gained quite an insight into the private life of the star."
