Help and i also have few more question, i do not get this book at please help i read the book. atleast upto 8 Chapters and didn't get it at all
Answer this question
Spade doesn't seem to have much of a reaction; he's quite calm and amiable when Mr. Cairo is shown in to see him at the end of Chapter Four. When Effie leaves and Chapter 5 begins, Cairo pulls out a gun and announces that he's going to search the office...... Spade is once again quite relaxed and tells him to go ahead...... then he knocks him out :-D
Afterwards, Spade aggres to take a $200 retainer on $5000 to find the bird (falcon) plus expenses.
