The 9th story in the Black Widowers case files, Isaac Asimov wrote it for Tales of the Black Widowers (1974).Tonight's host is Rubin, and he's insisted on hosting in his apartment over in the West Side of Manhattan Island. Since they're not at the Milano, Henry won't be serving them, so Rubin invites him as the guest. Rubin does, however, make it a rule that Henry cannot help him serve the meal.During dinner, Rubin is constantly moving about the small apartment, and chatting with his guests. They talk about the various bulls, the annoyances of living in a modern apartment house (Avalon calls it a "beehive"), and the recent string of crimes. When it's revealed that Rubin himself was the victim of a break-in two weeks ago, Henry decides that he wants to put him on the grill.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })After dinner, Henry questions Rubin some more about the so-called carpenter. The sound has been made for months, at odd times, and never very loud. Rubin has failed to figure out who was causing it, having stalked the halls, asked the doorman, and even brought up the issue with his tenants' organization. The meeting was a month ago, and he told the other tenants that he had the banging recorded and labeled, which would prove the irregular hammering that went on. Henry tells him to fetch the recording only it must've been stolen during the break-in. Henry is proven correct once again.

Continuity Nod: Astute readers will remember that Henry Jackson used to be a fairly wealthy individual, from "The Acquisitive Chuckle". This shows up again when Henry shows up beautifully dressed and wearing a derby.

Absence of Evidence: Henry guesses that Rubin's recording of the irregular banging was stolen in the break-in, which provides evidence that the hammering was some sort of code being passed back and forth. This convinces Trumbull (who has federal government connections) that he needs to have the doorman questioned about the asians living in the apartment house.

Dashingly Dapper Derby: Henry is wearing a dark brown derby that crowns his conservative suit. Astute readers will recall from "The Acquisitive Chuckle", Henry used to be very wealthy.
