Excerpt from The Man Outside
The action takes place on the eve of James McArthur's wedding day. He tells Freddy, his prospective brother-in-law, that he is counting on the advance royalties from his novel to pay for the wedding trip to Palm Beach. Then he gets a letter from his publishers - without a check. "I must have five hundred dollars before to-morrow night!" They decide to pawn the wedding silver. Freddy is to put the silver in a bag and pass it out the window to McArthur.
Sally West returns from a dance and meets Freddy, with the "swag." "It - it's my laundry!" Sally and Freddy find they're interested in each other. Sally hears the jingle of the silver in the bag and suspects Barnes, the butler, of trying to smuggle it outside to a confederate. Freddy undertakes to find out. "Suppose he kills you!" Sally defends Freddy from harm by taking the silver away.
McArthur, outside the window, threatens awful things to Freddy. Barnes unconsciously absolves himself from guilt and shifts it to Freddy. Sally is hysterical. "You - you - living lie!" McArthur, desperate, "steals" the silver himself. Then an opportune remittance saves the day, and McArthur determines to write detective stories instead of love stories. "Just so you leave Freddy out, you may do as you please!"
