Excerpt: ...the house when Craig and I arrived there. She had followed the telephone instructions of the Clutching Hand and had told no one. "Too bad," greeted Jennings, "but Miss Elaine has just gone shopping and I don't know when she'll be back." Shopping being an uncertain element as far as time was concerned, Kennedy asked if anyone else was at home. "Mrs. Dodge is in the library reading, sir," replied Jennings, taking it for granted that we would see her.
