Tell me, Roger, please. There must be something else you see in the crystal ball. I've never heard anything so wonderful as the things you've been able to see.
Patience, Miss Stone. Patience. Yes, there is something. Only this is not so pleasant.
Oh?
You wish to hear it?
Of course. I can't understand how you knew the things you've told me. It's incredible that you should know them, and I want to know what it is you see now.
Very well. Attend, if you please. Miss Stone, there is someone whom you trust. Someone very close to you. Someone who is violating that trust.
Take notice.
I think not. No... No, that is not the name. The initials are... P... Let me see. P.G. The name is blurred, but it is coming through more clearly now. The name is Peter Golden. That is it. Peter Golden.
Mr. Golden? And he's cheating me? But he's my guardian. He has all my money. Tell me more, Roger. Please, more.
What does the fortune teller Roger Ramoy reveal about Kay Stone's guardian?
No, no, I cannot. There is nothing more now. Tomorrow, perhaps, but not now. I am sorry, Miss Stone. That is all.
Well, here's the hundred dollars we agreed upon, Roger. I'll be here tomorrow, and thank you. Thank you very much. Tomorrow, then.
Good day, Miss Stone. Come out, Mr. Novus, please.
It worked, didn't it, Roger? Yeah. She believed what you told her?
As much as I told her.
You realize I've tried to tell her this myself, but she wouldn't listen.
I require no explanation as to why you see fit to give me information to be passed on to Miss Stone.
No, maybe not. But I just wanted to make sure my conscience was clear. You see, I work for Golden. He's been stealing from Miss Stone for months.
I am quite sure that is so.
Oh, there had to be some way for her to find out about this, Roger. I couldn't tell her, but... If he keeps up his swindling, she'll be penniless.
Which would mean that you would be marrying a penniless young lady.
Yes. Yes, I suppose so. Only, well, that isn't terribly important. No? No. I love Kay. I love her very much. And I'm greatly indebted to you for being the means whereby she knows about Golden.
At $100 a visit, it's no trouble, I assure you.
Thank you. Only suppose this doesn't work. Suppose Golden convinces Kay that he isn't cheating her. Then what?
What? Well, that might call for a visit from me to Mr. Golan. Only, Mr. Novice, that visit will cost a good deal more than a hundred dollars.
Yes, who is it? It's Dick Novus, Mr. Golden. You asked me to come to your office.
Come on in.
Hello, Mr. Golden.
Sit down, Novus. You know, one of the reasons I put your office at the other end of this floor is that you wouldn't get too close to me.
I don't think I understand.
You will. The point is that when I hired you, I didn't want you to know everything about my business. But apparently you found out regardless.
I still don't know what you mean, sir.
No? No. Well, you see, I just received a call from Miss Stone. She said a lot of things nobody would know about. Nobody but me, and apparently you. I haven't told her a thing about your mishandling her money. She found out some way, I guarantee that. She's not sure, mind you, just suspicious. Right now, your job is to keep Miss Stone's mind off my business, Dick. Make sure you do. And what if I don't?
What if I won't stand by and watch you swindling my fiancée?
You will. There are a few things about you that she might like to know about where you spent the five years before you came to this city.
You know about that?
Certainly. And make no mistake about it, I'd tell her in a minute if you don't do things my way. Boy, you low-underhand rat. This little gun makes up for the difference in our age and physical abilities, Novus. It doesn't scare me.
I've got to convince you that telling Kay about my past would be a very wrong thing for you to do. A very wrong thing. Don't come any closer to me or I'll shoot. I'll shoot. Shoot, will you? I think not. I'll just take that gun away from you before you get into trouble with it. There.
You'll be sorry about this, Novus.
