Knowing that he would probably put up at the Palatia or the Nederstrom, you reserved rooms for him at both, and took an office across from each. As it was hot weather, you calculated upon his windows being open. You watched for him. When he came you struck him down in his own room with the poison." "But how?" It was the diplomat who interrupted. "I think with a long blow-gun."
"'No," replied the manager, and, in the same breath, the budding diplomat demanded: "What are you up to, Average? Why should he?" Average Jones turned to him. "To what other hotels would the Turkish Embassy be likely to send its men?" "Sometimes their charge d'affaires goes to the Nederstrom." "Go up there and find out whether a room has been reserved for Telfik Bey, and if so "
"You are right, Average," he said. "The same man had reserved rooms at the Nederstrom for Telfik Bey." "What's the location?" "Tenth floor; north side. He had insisted on both details. Nos. 1015, 1017." "What neighbors?" "Bond salesman on one side, Reverend and Mrs. Salisbury, of Wilmington, on the other." "Um-m-m. What across the street?" "How should I know? You didn't tell me to ask."
