GOOFY STUFFI drive back to the Hacienda.
On my way I am thinkin’ plenty. I am thinkin’ that this guy Fernandez knows a damn sight more than he is lettin’ on. I figure he only blew this stuff about the dame Paulette Benito just because he was afraid that I was goin’ to blast a bunch of daylight into him, an’ even then I don’t think he woulda come clean if he hadn’t thought that I’d known something about a dame anyway.
But I am very interested in the way this guy tries to bust down Henrietta’s story about there bein’ some other woman. It is a cinch that this Fernandez an’ Burdell are workin’ together on some set-up that they have thought out, but just what they are gettin’ at—search me, I just don’t know.
An’ for all I know Fernandez an’ Burdell an’ Henrietta an’ Maloney can be all playin
