Now I know why my 1934 edition has that page missing...
Seriously, Hammett could really write. He calls
Couffignal
"a failure", which shows stratospheric standards. I bet
Hemingway would have died to have written that. I would have,
and I'm not given to thoughts of emulation.
Thanks for forwarding this. I will format it, print it, and
return it to its rightful place in the 1934 edition. Eddie:
if you return it I will give you a deal on some old Black
Masks... I will keep the covers, of course.
Best,
MrT
