Jimmie Dale read on, muttering snatches of the letter aloud: "Michael Breen prospecting in Alaska map of location of rich mining claim Hamvert, his former partner, had previously fleeced him of fifteen thousand dollars his share of a deal together Breen was always a very poor man Breen later struck a claim alone; but, taking sick, came back home died on arrival in New York after giving map to his wife wife in very needy circumstances lives with little daughter of seven in New Rochelle works out by the day at Henry Mittel's house on the Sound near-by wife intrusted map for safe-keeping and advice to Mittel Hamvert after map telephone wires cut room one hundred and forty-eight, corner, right, first floor, Palais-Metropole Hotel, unoccupied connecting doors quarter past nine to-night the Weasel Mittel's house later the police look out for both the Weasel and the police, Jimmie "
The Palais-Metropole was high class and exclusive, and the Weasel for once looked quite the gentleman, and, for all his sharp, ferret face, not entirely out of keeping with his surroundings else he would never have got farther than the lobby.
Another twenty minutes after that, and he had dismissed Benson, his chauffeur, and, at the wheel of his big, powerful machine, was speeding uptown for the Palais-Metropole Hotel. It was twelve minutes after nine when he drew up at the curb in front of the side entrance of the hotel his watch, set by guesswork, had been a little slow, and he had corrected it at the club.
The Weasel would undoubtedly come, and if there was a convenient train it might prove a close race but in his own favour was the fact that it would probably take the Weasel quite some little time to recover his equilibrium from his encounter with the Gray Seal in the Palais-Metropole, also the further fact that, from the Weasel's viewpoint, there was no desperate need of haste.
