Then
Mr
.
Vandemar
,
who
had
been
in
the
process
of
examining
Richard
s
living
room
,
turned
back
toward
Richard
,
and
Richard
suddenly
realized
that
he
had
never
been
so
scared
of
another
human
being
in
his
life
.
242
And
then
foxy
Mr
.
Croup
said
,
"
Why
yes
,
whatever
can
have
come
over
you
,
Mister
Vandemar
?
It
s
grief
for
our
dear
sweet
sibling
,
I
ll
wager
,
has
turned
his
head
.
Now
apologize
to
the
gentleman
,
Mister
Vandemar
.
"
243
Mr
.
Vandemar
nodded
,
and
pondered
for
a
moment
.
"
Thought
I
needed
to
use
the
toilet
,
"
he
said
.
"
Didn
t
.
Sorry
.

Mr
.
Croup
began
to
walk
down
the
hall
,
pushing
Mr
.
Vandemar
in
front
of
him
.
"
There
.
Now
,
you
ll
forgive
my
errant
brother
his
lack
of
social
graces
,
I
trust
.
Worry
over
our
poor
dear
widowed
mother
,
and
over
our
sister
,
whom
even
as
we
speak
is
wandering
the
streets
of
London
unloved
and
uncared
-
for
,
has
nigh
unhinged
him
,
I
ll
be
bound
.
But
for
all
that
,
he
s
a
good
fellow
to
have
at
your
side
.
Is
t
not
so
,
stout
fellow
?
"
They
were
out
of
Richard
s
apartment
now
,
into
the
stairwell
.
Mr
.
Vandemar
said
nothing
.
He
did
not
look
unhinged
with
grief
.
Croup
turned
back
to
Richard
and
essayed
another
foxy
smile
.
"
You
will
tell
us
if
you
see
her
,
"
he
said
.
245
"
Good
-
bye
,
"
said
Richard
.
Then
he
closed
the
door
and
locked
it
.
And
,
for
the
first
time
since
he
had
lived
there
,
he
attached
the
security
chain
.
246
Mr
.
Croup
,
who
had
cut
Richard
s
phone
line
at
the
first
mention
of
calling
the
police
,
was
starting
to
wonder
whether
he
had
cut
the
right
cord
or
not
.
Twentieth
-
century
telecommunications
technology
not
being
his
strongest
point
.
He
took
one
of
the
photocopies
from
Vandemar
,
and
positioned
it
on
the
wall
of
the
stairwell
.
"
Spit
!
"
he
said
to
Vandemar
.
247
Mr
.
Vandemar
hawked
a
mouthful
of
phlegm
from
the
back
of
his
throat
and
spat
it
neatly
onto
the
back
of
the
handbill
.
Mr
.
Croup
slapped
the
handbill
hard
onto
the
wall
,
next
to
Richard
s
door
.
It
stuck
immediately
and
stuck
hard
.

HAVE
YOU
SEEN
THIS
GIRL
?
it
asked
.
249
Mr
.
Croup
turned
to
Mr
.
Vandemar
.
"
Do
you
believe
him
?
"
250
They
turned
back
down
the
stairs
.
"
Do
I
Hell
,
"
said
Mr
.
Vandemar
.
"
I
could
smell
her
.
"
