Doyle wanted to handcuff Foley, but Bodie stopped him.

 "He'll be out of those in seconds. Seen his show."

 Bodie tripped Foley to the floor. Using one of Foley's own ropes he
hitched a length around his wrists, working the remainder with dazzling
virtuosity, loop intersecting loop, over, through, around. With another,
he suspended Foley by ankles and toes from a bolt in the wall.

 Doyle watched, fascinated.

 "Where'd you learn those knots?"

 "Hojojutsu. Japanese rope work." Grinning. "Teach you, if you're
interested."

 Doyle managed to slip a single slick white cotton coil into his pocket on
the way out.
