““You should have said something about that connection, Ed. This is a shame, a real shame.”
“If Checker Charley was out to make chumps out of men, he could damn well fix his own connections. Paul looks after his own circuits; let Charley do the same. Those who live by electronics, die by electronics. Sic semper tyrannis.” He gathered up the bills from the table. “Good night.”
Anita dug her fingernails into Paul’s arm. “Oh Paul, Paul, he’s ruined the whole evening.”
On his way out, Finnerty paused by Paul and Anita.”
