Nearing that corner, Dortmunder looked back and saw that Marcy was still standing there in front of the building, at a loss. “That was too bad about Marcy,” he said.
“Yeah, that’s tough,” Kelp agreed.
“She was really a great help to us.”
“Yeah, she was.”
They took another couple of steps and Dortmunder said, “We might could get together and give her some of what we got.”
“There’s an idea,” Kelp said, and kept walking.
Dortmunder almost stopped, but then he too kept walking, on around the corner. “Oh, all right,” he said.
