CHAPTER XII
A CHALLENGE
"Miss Ruston!"
"Yes?" The answer came through the door of the dark-room. "I can't come out for four minutes. Can you give me the message through a closed door?"
"Certainly," responded Amy Mathewson, standing outside. She was dressed for motor travel and her eyes were full of anticipation. "Mr. Macauley is taking some of us out to meet Dr. Burns at Sunny Farm. The Doctor has telephoned from there that he would be very glad if you could come with us, bring your camera, and take some photographs of a patient for him."
"Delighted—if I can arrange for Granny," Charlotte called back.
"Mrs. Burns's Cynthia will stay with her."
"How soon must we start?"
"As soon as you can be ready."
"Give me ten minutes, and I'll be there."
