...Weinstein, Moench's successor as old Ridley's clerk, had tried to get him on a telephone in the upstairs garage, where the stables used to be. Not until after one o'clock did the garage proprietor bother to go down to where the strange pair worked at their accounts. At the bottom of the subcellar stairs, visible by the light of one yellow bulb glowing dismally in the office, the garageman found Old Man Ridley. His curly white beard was torn out in great patches, one ear was gone, his head had been bashed many times...

I am with the Chief until the end and he is going to lead us out of this situation...
...monotonous series of dialogs. Except for two moments-the scene in which Stephen and his onetime girl embrace, and the finale in which Stephen and his wife decide to carry on together-the spectator finds himself wondering just how two more actors can be maneuvered in when the present pair dismiss themselves. Somehow, like Noah marshaling his animals in the Ark, the authors manage to turn the trick, but not always neatly...
