“Have you sent word to Betty?” he asked quickly.
Mrs. Boatwright looked at him for a moment, without replying, then moved deliberately to the window.
“Please don't move,” cautioned Dr. Cassin, who was working on his shoulder.
“Have you sent word?” Doane shot the question after Mrs. Boatwright.

“What is it?” cried Doane then.

“Something is wrong! What is it?”
Mrs. Boatwright was standing squarely before the window now, looking out into the dark courtyard.
