The Three Investigators (11)

Bob thought jupiter was finished, but he should have known better.

Jupiter was just warming up.

" In addition, " Jupiter said,
" the question marks will provoke interest.
They will make people ask us what they mean, just as you did.
They will help people remember us.
They will be good publicity.
Every business needs publicity in order to attract customers. "

" That's great, " Bob said, putting the card back on the pile Pete had alreadyprinted.

" Now  we'd be in business if we only had a case of investigate. "

Pete looked important.
" Bob, " he said, " we've got a case. "

" Correction, " jupiter said.
He straightened up a d set his jaw.
When he did so, his normally rather round face seemed longer, and he looked older.
Stockly built, Jupiter could look a little fat when he did not hold himself erect.

" Unfotunately, " Jupiter explained, " one small obstacle remains.
There is a case available for usーonr I feel we can easily solveーbut we have not yet been engaged."
