“She is too ill to be seen,” said Charley.
“And the maid is with her? By the way, what is the name of the maid?”
“Her name is Bernice. Yes, she is with my aunt.”
“Is Mrs. Maynard still unconscious?” asked Chick.
“Only partially so,” was the reply. “She is in a low condition, physically, and the shock of last night has affected her seriously.”
“You have called a physician?”
“Of course.”
As the question was answered the physician made his appearance in the parlor. He was old and gray, and had long been in attendance on the family.
“How are your patients?” asked Charley.
