He was still more surprised to hear the lady say, a little breathlessly: "Dr. Warren, you asked me once to allow Dr. Chilton to be called in consultation, and I refused.

In the bedroom Pollyanna found a flushed-faced, angry-eyed woman plucking at the pins that held a lace shawl in place. "Pollyanna, how could you?" moaned the woman.

People near him at that moment saw a flushed-faced, nervous-appearing man throw up his hands with a despairing gesture, roll his eyes heavenward, and then plunge into the nearest telephone booth. In due time William Henshaw had his brother Bertram at the other end of the wire. "Bertram!" he called shakily. "Hullo, Will; that you? What's the matter? You're late!
Smith was rearranging the books on Miss Maggie's shelves and trying to make room for the new ones he had brought her through the winter. When Mrs. Hattie came in, red-eyed and flushed-faced, he ceased his work at once and would have left the room, but she stopped him with a gesture. "No, don't go.
