“Arthur Cunningham."
“I don't think I know him.But I'll get there as soon as I can.It's snowing here,but I think I can get there before 12 o'clock."
A few minutes later,the surgeon's car had to stop for a red light at the edge of town.A man in an old black coat opened the door of the car and got in.
