Chapter 23: Somebody Asked
Archer read his own name off the sheet.
Then he read it again.
"Where did you get that?"
"Thames Street," Seth said. "The kid kept it in his cash drawer. Folded in four. He's nineteen and he's never liked a customer less."
"It's a piece of paper."
"It's your signature. Out at five past midnight, back at two-thirty."
Seth folded the sheet again along its old creases and put it in his shirt pocket.
"The kid will tell anybody who asks what you looked like. Pink shirt. Loafers in a boat."
Archer's eyes went to the old sailor, and to the shipwrights, and back to me.
"So what? You'll go to the police over a boat?"
"No," I said.
He smiled, a little.
"But the morning any paper in New England prints the word mistress," Seth said, "the harbor police get this. And the kid. And a photo of the knife."
"You don't have the knife."
"The kid does," Seth said. "He kept that too. Said it was a good knife."
