Lee smiled pleasantly. “I had no intention of being insolent,” he said. “We have the facts—I only came to give you a chance to explain them.”
Gaylor lost all patience.
“What facts?” he shouted. “What facts? That mediums come here?”
“Yes,” said Lee.
“When?” Gaylor cried. “Tell me that! When?”
Lee regarded the older man thoughtfully.
“Well, today is Thursday,” he said. “They were here Monday morning, and Tuesday morning—and—the one they call Vera—will be here in half an hour.”
