He had been a wealthy h to know the score And this woman—this car thief—was on the make, any moron could see that

He recalled the uppity curse she had delivered at the airport as sweetly as if she had been blessing his firstborn child He nearly smiled Then Ellery leaned closer to her

Had Ellery already laid claim to her?

A sick feeling rose up in his stoht her to the gaood luck Unfortunately it would take ht

Oh, God!
