She said they didn’t want to overdo it. She said she didn’t have a muscle that wasn’t furious at her. She said they could just loaf. They could lie in the sun, on the beach or at the pool, and work on tanning. Neither of them was really getting a tan. They’d get back home and nobody’d know they’d...
Their expressions chided. The expression on the wide face of Sergeant Mullins was, Pam thought briefly, more one of apprehension. They had acquired a sofa and a chair—which Mullins slightly overflowed—in a corner of the Algonquin lobby. As she approached, Pam saw Jerry’s hand go out to a little b...

They were also efficient. Half an hour after the police car—which moved even more rapidly than the Havana taxicabs—had deposited Captain William Weigand at the massive, ancient and ornate building which is police headquarters, electronics as well as policemen were at his call. A signature sped th...
TO 10:25 P.M. “—subsidiary rights,” Mr. Gerald North said, finishing a sentence. “Make it ‘cordially,’ Miss Corning, under the circumstances. Now, take one to Miss Wanda Wuerth, and be sure it’s u, e, not o, care B and B, dear Miss Wuerth several of our readers have objected that damn that teleph...
