He took the case, and with the help of that little four-eyed Einstein, he found it. A love-starved pigeon had mistook it for a mate and hid it in its nest somewhere in Las Vegas. Well, the Maltese Pigeon wasn't as much of a pigeon as everyone thought. It was made out of solid, 24 karat gold. Talk about the goose that laid the golden egg...." "So where does the connection he has fit in?" she asked. "Just so happens the thing was stolen from His Honor's brother- in-law's office at the municipal building, where the guy used it as a paper weight. Two other funny lookin' guys knew what it really was. Thanks to your usual bad judgment, you missed it. And what does Corwin do afterward while he was in Las Vegas? Ever seen His Honor's new 'secretary'?" "HMpph!" Karen grunted. "Well, I'm not gonna sit for this. All the business will be going his way. I'll put a stop to this little pub- licity scheme. He and that little she-Poindexter are really starting to get in my way."
