Chapter XXVIII
VOICES Pee-wee, the irrepressible, was subdued at last. In gaping amazement he watched the Justice cross from the 'phone to the table, sit down, and begin to write. The demeanor of the Justice was anything but dramatic; he was calm, matter of fact, as if this were no more than he had expected. "What do you mean, it's--in--his garage?" Pee-wee stammered.
