"H'm! This is all building on sand," said Jen, doubtfully. "Even to drug him, these men must have entered by the window." "Dying!" cried Patricia, aghast. "Why they said she was better this morning." "Nothing seems to be happening," said Elinor to her in an undertone as she joined her. "I believe I'll wait till later, unless I see signs of action.".

This long conversation had somewhat exhausted Jaggard, who was yet weak, so, telling him to cease from talking, Jen recalled the housemaid, and left the room to think over all that he had learned. The story of Jaggard convinced him more than ever that Dr. Etwald was the cause of all the terrible events which had occurred within the last few weeks.

This Jen could not determine. "Here's one for you from Frad," she announced, "and one for me from Miss Jinny, and there are two for Judy from Rockham—looks like Mrs. Shelly and Hannah Ann, but I'm not sure—and the rest are only circulars. Atkins' Diablo Water and Bartine's Foreign Tours." Griffin was the first of the three to recover. She leaned forward, a thin, eager hand on Judith's arm. "Later on, I may tell you all I know.".
