"Nobody we know, but he's certainly dead. Pushing up the daisies, don't you know - metaphorically, that is, as I don't believe Comrade Foley goes in much for gardening, particularly in his bath - as it is Comrade Foley's bath that the decedent is currently inhabiting, you see - and I see no reason you could not come over, but do be hush about it, mind, we're awfully jealous of our little corpse here and if too many people were to hear about it, why, they'd all want one, and then it wouldn't be cozy at all, would it? We're at the hotel, and at the moment I'm on the roof and could probably see you coming from miles off, and - oh, I say, I've just had a brainwave and I've got to go bother Marlowe, or rather Foley as I suppose he's really the one to ask - you know where the hotel is, of course, darling? Ring if you get lost and remember not to noise about too much about whom you're visiting."
