"Hurry? Well, what do you want me to do?"
"But just what--"
"Go out and hide some place where you can watch the front door. And if you see him coming--stop him! A thin, dark man, with a mustache. Oh, hurry, Jimmy! All evening long I've been waiting and waiting--in torment--for the sound of the bell. Go, Jimmy dear!"

"I'll have to get my overcoat from the garage," he explained.
