"Yes, we were coming, anyway. Yes, we'll bring Miss Draper's sister. Don't bother to meet us. We'll take a taxi straight from the station." Staggering with terror, I caught her hand, and prevented her putting the receiver back on its hook. "Is Dicky dead?" I demanded. "No, no, child," she said soothingly. "I don't believe it," I cried, maddened at my own fear. "Call him to the 'phone.
