Chapters 18-25 TBS

I applaud Mr. Marlowe being the man that he is. He has women offering themselves to him and he keeps his poker face. He walks into troubled situations without any armor or protection. He goes above a beyond for his job as well as his life. In remembering him just finding out about the 500$ he will receive and what he does afterwards. After receiving the message from Norris and leaving his office. Then talking about Carol Lundgren taking a plea, possibly pleading guilty or arraignment. He says, "The smart thing for me to do was to take another drink and to forget the whole mess. That being the obviously smart thing to do. I called up Eddie Mars, and told him I was coming down to Las Olindas that evening to talk to him. That was how smart I was." Mr. Marlowe goes from his office to break then to meet his supposed friend. Even when meets he friend, he is working. His life seems to be engulfed by his career so far.
