Harry Craig speaking, over the hot stove, winters while lubricating your tonsils with a hot toddy and wondering how long to spring, freelance operatives pass the time exactly the way Bobbers, ball players and bookies pass the time.

They talk shop. The toughest case you ever worked, the arch criminal you've met and the cat alibis you've ripped shreds. Men will be kids and you pin a medal on yourself. The metal I always cop off comes when the bragging gets around to the most dough, the most looted steak in the case.

My topper is a modest $40 million. I got the case in the back row of a $0.40 movie house over on Third Avenue. A Miss Briggs came looking for me, with a nusher behind her throwing a spotlight on me with his flag.

Red top, handsome no rugged, the outdoor look. Am I describing myself or flattering myself? You're describing yourself, yes. Then I'm Barry Craig and that's for sure. Have some popcorn. I must talk to you, but please not here. In the lounge.

Gregory Peck will be awfully mad if I walk out on him. Please, Mr. Craig, people are staring. How did you corner me like this? Jake, your elevated man. He said you were always here in the back row, taking your afternoon nap when you weren't busy.
