“I thought it was passable. Shelly thought I sounded like Horace Horsecollar in the Disney cartoons. I needed a voice, because I wanted to use the phone and I didn’t want Pauline to trap me in conversation if she happened to be on duty. With my Barrymore rejected, I could have gone with Mickey Mouse, but I’m not sure Mickey Mouse would have gotten the information I needed. I let Shelly call Bellevue Hospital and ask: (a) “What is the condition of a patient named Alex Albanese?” and (b) “Could I ...speak to the man guarding Albanese’s door?”The answer to the first question was “satisfactory.” The answer to the second question was, “There’s nobody guarding the door. Should there be?”Shelly hung up and I considered the possibilities. First, there was someone on the door but the nursing station had been told to say there wasn’t. Second, there was someone watching the room at the hospital but they were doing it secretly, using Albanese as bait. Third, there wasn’t anyone guarding Albanese.MoreLessRead More Read Less
