What are you thinkin' about?"

"I was thinking about your other wives. How many did you say you
have?"

"Three, all told. The other two don't bother me much."

"Haven't you ever been divorced from any of them?"

"Not especially. Why?"

"Where do the other two live, and what are their names?"

"Elsie Morton and Jennie Finch. I mean, those are their married
names. I use a different alias every time I get married, you see.
Course, my first wife,--the one you met,--her name is Smilk. I
married her when I was young and not very smart. Elsie lives in
Brooklyn and Jennie keeps a delicatessen up on the West Side."

"Do they know where you are?"

"I don't think so. I forgot to tell 'em I was out on parole last
year."

"And they have never been divorced from you?"

"No. They couldn't prove anything on me as long as I was locked up
in the penitentiary."

"Does either one of them know about the other two?"
