loose overcoat. Muller's visit to Venice, like most of his
journeyings, had been one of business. This time to capture and
bring home a notorious and long sought embezzler. He did not
volunteer any of this information, however, but merely asked in a
politely interested manner whether the landlord himself had been
to Venice.
