Somewhere in the house, Shadow cheap rolex watches heard a door close. He sipped at his coffee. Now that he was able to think clearly, he was starting to ask himself questions.
     He wondered how an old man, a man half his height and perhaps a third his weight, had been able to drag him, unconscious, across the ice, or get him up the bank to a car. He wondered how Hinzelmann had gotten Shadow into the house and the bathtub.
