He had a fair idea of the way Lucy felt, and he respected her for it. Tonight for the first time since Phyllis- death it didn't seem wrong tor have a woman In his apartment He had tried to run away from Lucy but it hadn’t ’worked; and she had tried to run away from him by quitting her jnh and closing the New Orleans office in a fit of rage, but that hadn t worked either. He had persuaded her, by long distance telephone, tp come to Miami for a vacation, and now they were here together.

Shaync took a sip of cognac and reflected upon the situation. A feeling of contentment and inertia possessed him. He had no cases da hand because he hadn't yet decided whether to re-establish himself tn Miami dr return to New Orleans. He was thinking of calling to Lucy and telling her to ' hurry upland tlnish the dishes and ' come tn to sit beside him when the . phone rang. It was an old-fash-ioned wall phone, and its ringing had disrupted his plans so often in the past that he decided not to answer tt He slumped deeper tn his chair, his angular face relaxed, his eyes half-closed, meditatively sipping Monnet and consigning all telephones to the tower regions. • He wasn't eonsctous -cf-Lucy's presence tn the room until the phone Stopped ringing. He looked up to see her putting the receiver :to her ear. She said, crisply, “Michael Shayne*. office." Bhe listened for a moment, turning her head sideways to look at . Shayne. He looked back at her and tried not to scowL She was still playing the game and getting such a kick out of it he hadn't the heart to scold her. “Yes," she said, “he's right ' here." She held out the receiver "Hr aays raiUlcf Win Gentry." Sliayne gr- wird. got up and lounged across the room, took the r- -‘ver from her ar.d said, 'Helle . Witt" ' 1

“Did I interrupt aomething Important?" Gentry’s voice betrayeda lively and friendly 'intcresj so the feminine voice that had answered the telephone. “Oh no,” Shayne assured him. “That was just my maiden aunt from Peoria. You're heard me speak of Aunt Minnie." “Oh." Chief Gentry hesitated a moment, then added, "Yeh. Rourke was telling me a couple of days ago about that pretty sceretafy of yours who just blew in from New Orleans.” * “Tim probably has her out tonight,” Shayne said cheerfully. "What's on your mind. Will?” “What have you been doing all evening?" asked Gentry cautiously. “Eating tfinner right here Aunt Minnie's a good cook. She can do things you never guessed with a dozen eggs, tomato kctchnp and a couple of bottles of beer." “Keep the recipe to yourself," groaned Gentry. “I just finished dinner and it isn't setting too w. 11 as it la Sure you've been in all evening, Mike?" “You Can ask Aunt Minnie.
