Sir David Suchet

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Masters Insurance and Trust Company, Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut.

Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the double exposure matter.

Expense account item one, $1.20 for a cab to Keeley's office on the 10th floor of the Star Record Building.

He's a man of about 60, I'd say.

Short, stout, and rather pompous in his manner.

Or maybe self-important is more like it.

I'm sure you realize as well as I do that a $3,000 claim is relatively small.

Relatively unimportant.

I use that word advisedly.

That means I can't expect much of a commission.

What's that?

Go ahead, please.

Yes.

The fact remains that if the claimant, the beneficiary, thinks he can get away with collecting price on the policy... Seems to me he'd have to be pretty stupid to try a thing like that.

Oh, you're right.

You're entirely right, sir.

Exactly the way I feel about it.

And Peter Upman is not a stupid man so far as I have been able to determine.

Upman?
