Excerpt: ...him. He did not take his eyes from Professor Brierly while he was lighting the white tube. After blowing a series of small smoke rings, he asked: "You're Professor Brierly, aren't you?" His voice was soft and quietly modulated. His diction was that of a fairly well educated man. Professor Brierly nodded curtly. Brasher pointed to a chair and said: "To save time, Boyle, I suppose you'll admit that you're 'Chicago' Boyle, alias 'Lefty' Harris, alias-" Boyle nodded indifferently.

Excerpt: ...him. He did not take his eyes from Professor Brierly while he was lighting the white tube. After blowing a series of small smoke rings, he asked: "You're Professor Brierly, aren't you?" His voice was soft and quietly modulated. His diction was that of a fairly well educated man. Professor Brierly nodded curtly. Brasher pointed to a chair and said: "To save time, Boyle, I suppose you'll admit that you're 'Chicago' Boyle, alias 'Lefty' Harris, alias-" Boyle nodded indifferently.
