Rankin calling sharply to her to get down and give a hand with the stretcher. John and Mrs. Rankin were disputing. "Can't you shove it in at the bottom?" he was saying.

She put the elastic clamp over her head and set the receiver to her ear. Instantly she was assailed by dreadful noises, a jangle of inarticulate sounds like the barking of two dogs. "I can't hear a word," she protested.
