good morning!
how are things in the
world of journalism?
In the world of death, they're
excruciatingly repetitive.
the next morning...
1939
but it's given me something to think about.
I never thought about my life in terms of more than the next few years. you write
those brief biographies all day and it gives
you a different perspective on your life.
1939
But if you two come across
a good poisoning or kidnapping
or even just a run of
the mill bank robbery...
1939
Buck up--maybe there will
be a cholera epidemic!
or charity vansant
may kill someone yet!
1939
later that morning at chez ostend...
yes? may
I help you?
hiya, bud. we got a box
fer philip ostend.
manifest says it's a chair.
ya called it--they
want the damn thing
on the fourth floor!
hahira
moving and storage
sir, the gentlemen are here with your chair.
have them bring it in!
no--wait!
have them leave it in the hall--
and bring me some tools!
I want to unpack it all by myself!
and then I don't want anyone
to disturb me for the rest of the day!
very good, sir.

I always had to punch clocks when I worked for newspapers.

I say it was Neal, with the hammer, in the hallway. Did I win?

That was fast! Was there a body in the crate or was the chair damaged causing the idiot to have a heart attack?
July 5th
Now it's just a matter of finding out if the crate contained a corpse, or a murderer!
