"Max telephoned that the Chases are coming to-night Neil and Dorothy, on their way somewhere. Isn't it horrible? What do you suppose they'll think of things here?" "Well, well old Neil's coming to show us his chest expansion, is he? And my Lady Dolly! Hum well I guess it will do'em good to see how some people live. Mrs. Chase will bring four trunks and a lot of hand stuff, will she?
Holmes left me at this point, and for two days I heard nothing from him. On the morning of the third day he telephoned me to meet him at the stage-door of the Metropolitan Opera-House at four o'clock. "Bring your voice with you," said he, enigmatically, "we may need it."
She gave him a look intended to crush his impudence. "No, thank you." He ate a breakfast which she had the cook prepare hurriedly for him, and departed on the horse for which she had telephoned to the nearest livery stable. Melissy was a singularly fearless girl; yet she watched him go with a decided relief, for which she could not account.
The inspiration came to him one day when he had telephoned Lawyer Ed twice and called at his office three times to find him out each time. "Is this the office of Brians and McRae or only McRae?" he asked when Roderick informed him for the third time that his chief was absent. "Well, it isn't often like this," said the junior partner apologetically.
A ring at the doorbell caused us to think that he had been found, but it proved to be the student to whom Kennedy had telephoned at his own laboratory. He was carrying a heavy suitcase and a small tank. Kennedy opened the suitcase hastily and disclosed a little motor, some long tubes of rubber fitting into a small rubber cap, forceps, and other paraphernalia.
At last he fell into a heavy sleep from which it was hard to rouse him, and the servants followed their own desire and called Dr. High. He came as promptly as possible, and did all that could be done for the sick man. A hurried examination convinced me that Dr. High's opinion of the gravity of the case was correct, and we telephoned at once for a specialist from the city, and for a trained nurse.
The red-letter event of Washington was when he was taken for tea to Justice Brandeis's. "We talked I.W.W., unemployment, etc., and he was oh, so grand!" A few days later, two days before Christmas, Mrs. Brandeis telephoned and asked him for Christmas dinner! That was a great event in the Parker annals Justice Brandeis having been a hero among us for some years.
She had summoned their own doctor, and he had called another from the city. They feared cerebral trouble, due to a lesion of the spinal chord; but nothing could be certainly determined yet. "Something seems to be on his mind," Alice said in conclusion. "I thought I made out your name, John; so I had you telephoned for. I don't know that it will do any good, but it may quiet him to see you."
Reporters had been there, Republican Headquarters had telephoned to know if I were ill. Leaving word that I was not to be disturbed under any circumstances, I went to my room, and spent most of the night in distracted thought.
They must know about where they lost you. Come, Tom, take the stray children out and amuse them. Your mother'll be home pretty soon." If Tom's mother had been at home she would have at once telephoned and told the police that she had two lost or stray children at her house, so that in case Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey inquired, as they did, they would know that the tots were all right.
