Here, in spite of years and illness, were the same good looks and thoroughbred courage that seemed to characterize the women of this family. Mrs. Thornhill greeted me in Ina Vandeman's very tones, a little high-pitched for real sweetness, full of a dominating quality, and she showed a composure I had not expected.
I let her keep the idea. "Run along, Barbara," I said, "get to your paint daubing. I'll forgive you everything for deducing well, discovering, if you like that better about these bolts and magnets." Skeet burst from the kitchen door of the Thornhill house, caught sight of us, shouted something unintelligible, and came racing through the grounds toward Vandeman's.

For the bulls; and the cor'ner; and everybody. Gawd! I was all in." I caught one point in the tale.
So far, Ina Vandeman's voice, imitated by Barbara Wallace, and recognized by Chung and Jim Edwards, possibly by Worth, had been my lead in this direction.
