The Duchess faced Ogilvie. "How much do you want?" The abruptness took him by surprise. "Well ... I figure you people are pretty well fixed." She said coldly, "I asked how much." The piggy eyes blinked. "Ten thousand dollars. " Though it was twice what she had expected, her expression did not change. "Assuming we paid this grotesque amount, what would we receive in return?" The fat man seemed puzzled. "Like I said, I keep quiet about what I know." "And the alternative ?" He shrugged. "I go down the lobby. I pick up a phone. "

As the Duke of Croydon shifted uneasily, the house detective's bulbous countenance reddened, “Now listen, lady…” Peremptorily she cut him off." I will not listen. Instead, you will listen to me." Her eyes were riveted on his face, her handsome, high cheek boned features set in their most imperious mold. "We would achieve nothing by paying you, except possibly a few days' respite. You have made that abundantly clear." "That's a chance you gotta..."
The abruptness took him by surprise. "Well ... I figure you people are pretty well fixed."
