There was something peculiar about it and he picked up a blank sheet of white paper, dusting off the diaphragm on it. There, on the paper, were innumerable little black specks. Just then, outside, Dr. Godowski's car drew up and he jumped out, swinging his black bag.
Before he could speak, however, Long Sin spread out Godowski's message. "But I have this," he added. It took merely a glance to suggest to Wu a new plan of action. He rose and moved quickly into the back room. "Come," he ordered Weepy Mary. "You must dress up as a nurse immediately." Quickly she donned one of the numerous disguises while Wu planned his campaign.
We still felt rather weak, but Godowski's skill had pulled us out all right. Our speaking-tube sounded and I knew that it was Elaine and Aunt Josephine. "How do you feel?" inquired Elaine anxiously, as she almost ran across the laboratory to Craig. "Fine!" he exaggerated, brightly. "Really?" she repeated anxiously. "Look!" he said, turning to his microscope.
He gazed from Elaine to Weepy Mary in doubt. The game was up. Weepy Mary dropped a piece of gauze which she had soaked in the solution from the vial which Wu had given her and bolted for the door. So sudden was her flight that no one was quick enough to stop her. She managed to reach the hall and slam the door. Down she rushed to the street, Godowski's assistant after her.
But the sight that had transfixed her was of a woman whose face she remembered only too well, though Kennedy and I had never seen her. "Please, Miss," began Godowski's assistant, trying to quiet Elaine, while Godowski turned in vexation to his work. "No, no!" repeated Elaine. "This woman is no nurse. She is a criminal!" Godowski paused. It was true he did not know the woman.
Then he hurried away to his laboratory in his car. As he did so, however, Long Sin leaped into a taxicab which was waiting and followed. In Godowski's laboratory, where he was studying tropical diseases, the bacteriologist set to work at once to confirm his own growing suspicions. From a monkey which he had there for experimental purposes, he drew off some blood samples.
