Sergeant Boos made the notation in his little black book, and addressed himself again to the ancient attorney with the quavering voice. “You’re telling me, Mr. Peake, your Mr. Lawson willed all his money, the entire estate, to this Social Institute?”

“Yes, Sergeant. His art collection to his friend and agent, Mr. Norman Worth. His book collection to his editor, Miss Molly Mellinger. I explained to her a little while ago — ”

Boos felt like swearing. “Miss Mellinger was here?”

“As a legatee she was entitled to a reading of her bequest.”

“But she managed to wangle the rest out of you?”

“Well, yes, but she implied she was working with you people. I assumed she was telling — ”

“It’s all right,” Boos interrupted gently. “I’d like the address of that lucky society, social club, or whatever it is, that gets the million dollars.”

Old Peake shook his head. “I don’t have it. You might look it up.”
