SHOPPING WITH NINA
HIRLEY, half-awake and crying, came pattering out into the hall and Winnie dashed from her room. On the second floor, Aunt Trudy scuttled back and forth demanding where the fire was.
"Go to bed girls," ordered Doctor Hugh, who had just come in and was fully dressed. "Go back to bed, and I'll tell you all about the fire in the morning."
"Oh, Hugh, are you going? Wait for me, please?" cried Rosemary. "I won't be a minute."
"Me, too," shouted Sarah. "Wait for me, Hugh."
He was already in the lower hall, struggling into his overcoat.
