 By the big door at the front of the house.
PoorBarbara, who had been so happy less than an hour ago. A tense silence fell in
the little office as they awaited Egans answer.
He glanced at thewhite stricken face of the girl
beside him, and because of her his heartwas heavy. Its about time somebody came out
here and brought you to your senses,he remarked.
Hallet leaned back in his chair and spoke in a more
amiabletone. A rather anemic specimen, judging bythe look I had at him this
morning.
Jim Egan removed his hat, and looked helplessly out
toward KalakauaAvenue.
Sounds fascinating, said John Quincy sarcastically.
Well, he continued, one thing more and well goalong. Now Im going makai to sit on
the lanai, there to forgetthe pilikia of the day. The person who murdered Cousin
Dan, said Miss Minerva.
But I never knew him to gain anything by it in the
end.
Sometimes he read, colorful tales of other islands
farther south. There are other things he refuses to tell.
He took out a silver case andremoved a
cigarette.
His once white clothes were yellowed, his
facelined, his eyes tired and disillusioned.
As they emerged into the street, a taxi drew up to
the curb.
By the big door at the front of the
house.
Itake it these are not on sale in Honolulu? He took
out a silver case andremoved a cigarette. I didnt say that, replied Hallet, suddenly
cautious. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with sudden tears. A family
conference seemed advisable, so Iveasked him to come over. Twoor three years ago Dan
Winterslip and I were walking along King Street,and we passed Mr. I did make an
appointment with Winterslip for last night, he continued. Those steps are even worse
than theywere when I left.
Egan hesitated a moment, then slowly took his
battered old straw hat fromthe desk.
Dan was all the poor child had, she
said.
John Quincy heard near at handthe low monotone of
breakers lapping the shore. Itake it these are not on sale in Honolulu? You were the
last person to see him alive, Hallet answered.
