Death Out of Thin Air
“His head ached as if it were about to fly apart and dissolve into nothing among the pretty flashes of Technicolor light that danced around it.
Woody had found the jewels in the apartment while Fox was busy in the séance room above. Up there, when Don had put in his oar and added a few unexpected lines to the script, Fox had hastily climbed out of the window, and beat a retreat toward the room below. Don had purposely closed the window after him so that the Bat had no choice but to go back in at... the open, lower window behind which Woody stood waiting.
Woody had then gotten the drop on the Bat, locked him in the bathroom, had taken the jewels up stairs and reported to Don as the wayward telegram messenger. When he returned he had spent ten or fifteen minutes searching the apartment, his reporter’s nose looking for more evidence that would help convict Fox.
Finally, he had again gone to the bathroom and unlocked the door to see how his captive was faring.
He got one good look at the interior of the bathroom.MoreLess
