A handsome man of thirty-five jumps to his feet, stares at the girl a moment. Then she closes the door behind her. Who are you? What do you want? You don't know me. You never seen me before.

But I know that you're Fred Blake. Yes, I'm Fred Blake. So what? What's the idea of walking into my apartment? I'm Mary Alberty. Mary Alberty? Does that name mean anything to you? Why, what's a people are named Alberty?
