You can't put it too strongly.
Use your judgment about Mrs. de Lancey. I don't want to get you in
wrong with her. But, remember, it's a matter of life or death--or
perhaps worse. Try to do it without unnecessarily alarming Miss
Winslow, if you can. Just fix it up as quietly as possible. But be
positive about it. No, I can't explain more over the wire now.
But--no more outings for either of you, and particularly Miss
Winslow, until I raise the ban."
Warrington had been inclined to argue the matter at first, but
Garrick of course quickly prevailed, the more so because
Warrington realised that in his condition he was anything but an
adequate body-guard for her if something unexpected should happen.
"Oh--I had a call the other day," reported Warrington as an
afterthought before hanging up the receiver. "It was from
McBirney. He says one of his unofficial scouts has told him of
seeing a car that might have been mine up this way lately."
Garrick acquiesced to the information which, to us, was not new.
