Thebigcarwentslowlypast,soclosethatPaulcouldseeitsdriver'sfacequiteclearly.Itwasnotaprettyface.Themouthwastoolarge,andtheearsweretoosmall.Theblackhairwascutveryshort,andtheeyeswerehiddenbehinddarkglasses.

"WherehaveIseenthatfacebefore?"Paulwondered."Waitaminute.Iremembernow.Itwasinthenewspaper."Heturnedtohissister."Haveyoustillgotyesterday'spaper,Nora?Ordidyoulightthefirewithitthismorning?YouusuallydowhenIneedit."

"No,Ididn't,"laughedNora."Butit'sratherdirty.Iputthefishinitjustnowastheyhadnopaperinthefishshop.It'sontheflooratthebackoftheear.I'llgetitifyoulike."

Sheopenedthebackdoorandtookthefishoutofthepaper.Paulturnedquicklytothemiddlepageandshowedherthepicture.Itwaspartlycoveredwithwetfish'sblood,butthefacewasclearenough.Itwasnotaprettyface.Ithadalargemouthandsmallears,anditseyeswerehiddenbehinddarkglasses.

"Wantedbythepolice,"readPaul,"forpayingbillswithuselesschequesathotelsandshopsinMargate,Brightonandotherlargeseasidetowns.TheCityBankwillpayfiftypoundstoanyonewhohelpsthepolicetocatchthisman."

"DoesitsayanythingaboutanAmericancare"

"No.Butlistentothis.HeisEnglish,butheusuallytalksanddresseslikeanAmericanvisitor.Perhapsit'sastolencar.Menlikehimuseadifferentcareveryweek."

Paulstoppedhisowncarbehindanoldfarm-cartattheroadside,sothatthemancouldnotseehim.Thedooroftheredcaropened,anditsdrivergotoutandlookedround.Thenhestartedwalkingtowardsanoldwhitehouse,whichwashalf-hiddenbytreesalittlewayfromtheroad.
