Callaghan said, yes, it was OK, that he'd be down somewhere about ten o'clock, that he'd meet Kells by the tree clump past the telephone box. He asked if there was anything doing at Falleton.
'Not a durn thing,' said Kells. 'Everything is nice an' quiet down here. They had some police guys aboard the boat doin' photography an' rushin' around, but they've gone.'
He paused for a moment, then:
'That old guy Jimmy Wilpins has scrammed, too,' he said. 'The old geezer who saw that dame come off the boat. Do I try an' get a line on him?'
'No,' said Callaghan. 'Leave him alone. I'm not interested. Has anybody been hanging round Greene's Place?'
'Not anybody,' Kells answered. 'I was around there an hour ago. The place is as quiet as a goddam graveyard, an' looks like one in this lousy weather.
