“Dinner at Corole’s? That is Miss Letheny?”
“Yes.”
“Dr. Letheny was there?”
“Yes.”
“Anyone else?”
“Yes. Miss Day, Dr. Balman, Dr. Hajek, and a friend of Dr. Letheny’s—a Mr. Gainsay. He is an engineer who stopped for a day’s visit with them.”
“And you and Miss Letheny?”
“Yes.”
“You implied that it was—‘queer,’ I think was the word you used. How was it queer?”
“Oh—I scarcely know. It was very hot and oppressive you know—that sort of electric atmosphere that precedes a thunder storm.”
