-342-the crowded elevator into the humming lobby of the Woolworth Building. "Yessiree," said Cliff, nodding wisely. He had a long face with a thin parchment skin drawn tightly from under his brown felt hat over high cheekbones and thin nose. The lipless mouth never opened very wide above the thin jaw. He repeated out of the corner of his mouth,

They can go over to the bank in the mornin' . . . then you're through. Cal me at nine, see?

You were a little late yesterday. . . . I'm not goin' to worry about anythin' til then.""Yessir, get a good night's sleep, sir," said Cliff and slid out of sight in the crowd. Charley stopped a cruising taxicab and let himself drop into the seat.
