Great Day for the Deadly
“BENNIS Hannaford said, after Gregor had managed to detach himself from the clutches of the woman at the desk, get up to his room, and get through to Cavanaugh Street on AT&T, “because Lida called old George Tekamanian, and old George Tekamanian called Father Tibor, and Father Tibor called me. And even then I would have left you alone, except that Father Tibor said he was going to call me back.”
Gregor’s room was on the second floor and large, a big square wood-paneled space with a fireplace. Th...ere was an oversize closet and a bathroom with too much equipment in it. The tub was some kind of a whirlpool and the stall shower had knobs and hoses and spouts for functions Gregor couldn’t begin to imagine. The phone was a Princess, which always made Gregor feel as if he were being asked to talk into a child’s toy version of a boomerang. He shrugged off his jacket and tucked the receiver between his ear and his shirt. Then he went to work on his tie.
