A
tail
of
figures
kept
trailing
and
shifting
behind
him
,
as
if
their
function
were
to
give
him
the
pleasure
of
ignoring
them
.
Mr
.
Mowen
flickered
briefly
among
the
tail
,
and
Dr
.
Pritchett
,
and
Balph
Eubank
.
The
most
persistent
one
was
Paul
Larkin
.
He
kept
describing
circles
around
Taggart
,
as
if
trying
to
acquire
a
suntan
by
means
of
an
occasional
ray
,
his
wistful
smile
pleading
to
be
noticed
.
Taggart
s
eyes
swept
over
the
crowd
once
in
a
while
,
swiftly
and
furtively
,
in
the
manner
of
a
prowler
s
flashlight
;
this
,
in
the
muscular
shorthand
legible
to
Orren
Boyle
,
meant
that
Taggart
was
looking
for
someone
and
did
not
want
anyone
to
know
it
.
The
search
ended
when
Eugene
Lawson
came
to
shake
Taggart
s
hand
and
to
say
,
his
wet
lower
lip
twisting
like
a
cushion
to
soften
the
blow
,
"
Mr
.
Mouch
couldn
t
come
,
Jim
,
Mr
.
Mouch
is
so
sorry
,
he
had
a
special
plane
chartered
,
but
at
the
last
minute
things
came
up
,
crucial
national
problems
,
you
know
.
"
Taggart
stood
still
,
did
not
answer
and
frowned
.

Orren
Boyle
burst
out
laughing
.
Taggart
turned
to
him
so
sharply
that
the
others
melted
away
without
waiting
for
a
command
to
vanish
.
"
What
do
you
think
you
re
doing
?
"
snapped
Taggart
.
"
Having
a
good
time
,
Jimmy
,
just
having
a
good
time
,
"
said
Boyle
.
"
Wesley
is
your
boy
,
wasn
t
he
?
"
"
I
know
somebody
who
s
my
boy
and
he
d
better
not
forget
it
.

Who
?
Larkin
?
Well
,
no
,
I
don
t
think
you
re
talking
about
Larkin
.
And
if
it
s
not
Larkin
that
you
re
talking
about
,
why
then
I
think
you
ought
to
be
careful
in
your
use
of
the
possessive
pronouns
.
I
don
t
mind
the
age
classification
,
I
know
I
look
young
for
my
years
,
but
I
m
just
allergic
to
pronouns
.
"
"
That
s
very
smart
,
but
you
re
going
to
get
too
smart
one
of
these
days
.
