'The police think it's some outsider who dropped by occasionally to pick up his mail, because none of the dopes in this house look like criminal types...' It was strange to read about the people he knew in New York, Ed and Lorraine, the newt-brained girl who had tried to stow herself away in his cabin the day he sailed from New York.
"Poliziak uste du kanpotarren bat dela, aldika korrespondentziaren bila azaltzen zena, zeren eta etxe honetako tentelen artean kriminal itxurakorik ez baitago..." Arraroa egiten zitzaion New Yorkeko ezagunei buruz irakurtzea, Edi buruz eta baita Lorrainez ere, New Yorketik abiatzerakoan bere gelan polizoi sartu nahi izan zuen neska tuntun hartaz.
