"What is your theory of the method?" asked Elliott, who was staggered by the rush of thoughts and conclusions made inevitable by the Examiner's report. "That's the greatest mystery of all," Crowell replied. He was quite calm now apparently it was concern for the family that had made him so disturbed.
