Griff's tone was filled with doubt. "Perhaps," he said.

There was an interval of ailence. Then the telephone rang, Griff scoop- ed up the receiver, listened for moment, nodded to Bleckor. "For you," he said.

Blocker listened while the receiver made a succession of reaping noises, then looked up at Griff and nodded. He said, "A check-up on the Summer villa end shows that Robert Chelton did just what you said he would do, or rather what you said he had done." Griff waved his hands in a gesture of dismissal

"No," Griff said, "tell them to drop it. It's unimportant now."

That purpose was to baffle the investigating authorities
