adventure and the play. When Father Frank 
[Stroud] came to see him [the man who spent 
Marshall’s last night with him] they were just into 
it, the two of them. Frank reported later—I met him 
at the wake—that it was one of the most 
intellectually stimulating evenings, not because 
Marshall was telling him stuff, but because they 
were investigating stuff. So I think he was an 
indomitable investigator, but his powers of 
investigation and his skills of investigation were 
somewhat derailed sometimes by his terrific need 
to show off.
