Corpses At Indian Stone
“POPULAR LIBRARY EDITION Copyright, 1943, by Philip Wylie Published by arrangement with Holt, Rinehart & Winston, Inc.
Holt, Rinehart & Winston edition published February, 1943 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. All Rights Reserved CHAPTER 1 At the curb of a New York side street--a once fashionable street now dowdy and ostentatious--stood a vintage limousine. It was a well-preserved automobile and its chauffeur had the look of one who had driven carriages in his younger days. He was assist...ing a thin colored girl in the placement of luggage. They were particular about the chore--as if the owner of the car had an eagle eye for error.
It was a lovely afternoon, balmy and clear. Passers-by, had they stopped to examine the pieces of baggage, could have guessed something about the two people on the verge of departure; but passers-by on that street seldom stopped to examine anything, for most of them lived in bland, contented retrospect. One guess, if such a guess had been made, would have been correct: the bulge and fustiness of brassbound portmanteaus and hatboxes described old-fashioned gentility--and a lady.MoreLess
