From 'A Really Important Person' novel by B. J. Chute, 1945

Patrolman Reilly had only one night in which to find a genuine celebrity—and his search was limited to the murky streets of his Manhattan beat.

 

A wind had come up, damp and searching, off the river, and there was a sudden coldness in the way the dark had closed in.
