I'm a lone wolf, unmarried, getting middle-aged, and not rich. I've been in jail more than once and i don't do divorce business. I like liquor and women and chess and a few other things. The cops don't like me too well but i know a couple i get along with. I'm a native son, born in Santa Rosa, both parents dead, no brothers or sisters, and when i get knocked off in a dark alley sometime, if it happens, as it could to anyone in my business, nobody will feel that the bottom has dropped out of his or her life.
Raymond Chandler

1953
Farewell My Lovely
