CHAPTER X
A SENATOR MISSING
The members of the group that remained looked at one another. Alicia dropped into a chair.
"Whew!" she said.
Father Murray crossed quickly from the doorway, where he had stood silent ever since his shamefaced entrance, to Aunt Mary's side.
"Wonderful, Miss Norman!" he cried.
Aunt Mary smiled at him--her first smile in that scene. "Thank you, Arthur," she said.
But she added instantly to Rockwell:
"See if George is there. Telephone. He must be by now. Then you and Arthur must take a taxi and go after him and bring him back here. The number is Harrison 3731."
Rockwell turned back to the telephone.
