A
fox
and
a
wolf
,
thought
Richard
,
involuntarily
.
The
man
in
front
,
the
fox
,
was
a
little
shorter
than
Richard
.
He
had
lank
,
greasy
hair
,
of
an
unlikely
orange
color
,
and
a
pallid
complexion
;
as
Richard
opened
the
door
,
he
smiled
,
widely
,
and
just
a
fraction
too
late
,
with
teeth
that
looked
like
an
accident
in
a
graveyard
.
"
A
good
morrow
to
you
,
good
sir
,
"
he
said
,
"
on
this
fine
and
beautiful
day
.
"
"
Ah
.
Hello
,
"
said
Richard
.
"
We
are
conducting
a
personal
enquiry
of
a
delicate
nature
as
it
were
,
door
to
door
.
Do
you
mind
if
we
come
in
?
"
"
Well
,
it
’
s
not
very
convenient
right
now
,
"
said
Richard
.
Then
he
asked
,
"
Are
you
with
the
police
?
"
The
second
of
the
visitors
,
a
tall
man
,
the
one
he
had
thought
of
as
a
wolf
,
his
gray
and
black
hair
cut
bristle
-
short
,
stood
a
little
behind
his
friend
,
holding
a
stack
of
photocopies
to
his
chest
.
He
had
said
nothing
until
this
moment
—
just
waited
,
huge
and
impassive
.
Now
he
laughed
,
once
,
low
and
dirtily
.
There
was
something
unhealthy
about
that
laugh
.
"
The
police
?
Alas
,
"
said
the
smaller
man
,
"
we
cannot
claim
that
felicity
.
A
career
in
law
and
order
,
although
indubitably
enticing
,
was
not
inscribed
on
the
cards
Dame
Fortuna
dealt
my
brother
and
me
.
No
,
we
are
merely
private
citizens
.
Allow
me
to
make
introductions
.
I
am
Mister
Croup
,
and
this
gentleman
is
my
brother
,
Mister
Vandemar
.
"
They
did
not
look
like
brothers
.
They
did
not
look
like
anything
Richard
had
seen
before
.
"
Your
brother
?
"
asked
Richard
.
"
Shouldn
’
t
you
have
the
same
name
?
"
"
I
am
impressed
.
What
a
brain
,
Mister
Vandemar
.
Keen
and
incisive
isn
’
t
the
half
of
it
.
Some
of
us
are
so
sharp
,
"
he
said
as
he
leaned
in
closer
to
Richard
,
went
up
on
tiptoes
into
Richard
’
s
face
,
"
we
could
just
cut
ourselves
.
"
Richard
took
an
involuntary
step
backwards
.
"
Can
we
come
inside
?
"
asked
Mr
.
Croup
.
"
What
do
you
want
?
"
Mr
.
Croup
sighed
,
in
what
he
obviously
imagined
was
a
rather
wistful
manner
.
"
We
are
looking
for
our
sister
,
"
he
explained
.
"
A
wayward
child
,
willful
and
headstrong
,
who
has
close
to
broken
our
poor
dear
widowed
mother
’
s
heart
.
