"Nowa thata you mention it, there was an American colonel thata came througha Zurich about a month ago."
I said an officer, not a colonel. So at least I knew he was aware of Hall's presence. That was now confirmed.
"He came athrough town in a big atruck."
I never mentioned the truck either. I was pretty sure now this little man was on the level.
"Do you know who he came to Zurich to see?"
"Thata alla depends," he said with a slight grin.
"On what?" I asked.
"Ona whether those twenty dollar abrothers have any siblings witha them."
