"You!"
"Yes. She sent for me to ask for information about Lawrence. She said she had been distressed by the news of the murder, and as Lawrence was an old friend she was anxious to learn what danger he stood in,--if I could tell her anything more than the reports in the papers. That's about all."
"All!" exclaimed Howell, excitedly. "What more would you want, in the name of wonder? The woman who was in Fullerton's company--"
"That's merely my guess, you remember. But the elevator boy described a chain she wore, and her manner of speaking very accurately."
"When did you see her?"
"Last night."
"You must take me to her immediately. Here you have wasted hours--"
Lyon shook his head. "Dr. Barry has forbidden her seeing anyone. He fears serious nervous disturbance,--mental derangement, in fact. She has evidently had a severe nervous shock."
"Does Dr. Barry know what you have told me?"
"No."
