"Ames and Novak. To match our passports."
"That tears it. What'll we do. Doc?"
Gwen looked back and forth between us. "Pray tell me the difficulty?"
I explained. "So we go to the gate, each of us well disguised-and show
reservations for Ames and Novak. Curtain. No flowers."
"Richard, I didn't quite tell you everything."
"Gwendolyn, you never do quite tell everything. More Lim-burger?"
"No, dear. I saw that it might turn out this way. Well, I suppose you could
say that I wasted quite a lot of money. But I- Uh, after I bought our
tickets-tickets we can't use now and arc wasted-I went to Rental Row and put a
deposit on a U-Pushit. A Volvo Flyabout."
Schultz said, "Under what name?"
I said, "How much?"
"I used my right name-"
Schultz said, "God help us!"
"Just a moment, sir. My right name is Sadie Lipschitz... and only Richard
knows it. And now you. Please keep it to yourself, as I don't like it. As Sadie
Lipschitz I reserved the Volvo for my employer. Senator Richard Johnson, and
placed a deposit. Six thousand crowns."
I whistled. "For a Volvo? Sounds like you bought it."
"I did buy it, dear; I had to. Both rental and deposit had to be cash
because I didn't have a credit card. Oh, I do have; I have enough cards to play
solitaire. But Sadie Lipschitz has no credit. So I had to pay six thousand down
simply to reserve it-to rent it but on a purchase contract
