Miscommunication in a tense situation
Pamela: [after overhearing a phone call made to the Professor]
I feel such a fool, not having believed you.
Hannay:
Oh, that's all right. Well, we ought to get a move on. What room are those two men in?
Pamela:
No room, they went as soon as they telephoned.
Hannay:
They what?
Pamela:
Didn't I tell you?
Hannay:
You let them go after hearing what they said? You, you button-headed little idiot!
Pamela:
Don't talk to me like that!
Hannay:
Four or five precious hours wasted. Why didn't you wake me up at once? Even you might have realized that what they said was important.
