Raymond Chandler Quote
I lit a Camel, blew smoke through my nose and looked at a piece of black shiny metal on a stand. It showed a full, smooth curve with a shallow fold in it and two protuberances on the curve. I stared at it. Marriott saw me staring at it. An interesting bit, he said negligently. I picked it up just the other day. Asta Dial’s Spirit of Dawn. I thought it was Klopstein’s Two Warts on a Fanny, I said. Mr. Lindsay Marriott’s face looked as if he had swallowed a bee. He smoothed it out with an effort.
