Saint Goes West
“PALM SPRINGS II. HOLLYWOOD THE SAINT GOES WEST I: PALM SPRINGS 1 “LOOK,” SAID FREDDIE PELLMAN belligerently. “Your name is Simon Templar, isn’t it?”
“I think so,” Simon told him.
“You are the feller they call the Saint?”
“So I’m told.”
“The Robin Hood of modern crime?”
Simon was tolerant.
“That’s a rather fancy way of putting it.”
“Okay then,” Pellman lurched slightly on his bar stool, and took hold of his highball glass more firmly for support.
“You’re the man I want. I’ve got a job for you.”
...The Saint sighed.
“Thanks. But I wasn’t looking for a job. I came to Palm Springs to have fun.”
“You’ll have plenty of fun. But you’ve got to take this job.”
“I don’t want a job,” said the Saint. “What is it?”
“I need a bodyguard,” said Pellman.
He had a loud harsh voice that made Simon think of a rusty frog. Undoubtedly it derived some of this attractive quality from his consumption of alcohol, which was considerable. Simon didn’t need to have seen him drinking to know this.MoreLess
