Just then there came a sound of a scuffle and a muffled cry which was not much above a whisper, as though a strong hand was clapped over her mouth. What could we do? "Juanita Juanita help! police!" shouted Craig himself through the vocaphone. An instant later we could hear other screams as Juanita heard and spread the alarm, not a second too soon.
Dodge is in the library reading, sir," replied Jennings, taking it for granted that we would see her. Aunt Josephine greeted us cordially and Craig set down the vocaphone package he was carrying. She nodded to Jennings to leave us and he withdrew.
I would have uttered an exclamation of amazement, but I could not miss what they were saying. "Then you you believe what he says?" asked Lockwood earnestly. "Professor Kennedy has the prints," replied Inez tremulously. "You saw them?" "Yes." "And you believe what HE says, too?" There was a silence. "What is it?" I asked, tapping the box lightly. "A vocaphone," replied Kennedy.
"How do you do, Lucille?" we heard a sweetly tremulous voice repeated by the faithful little vocaphone. "Comment vous portez-vous, Mademoiselle?" "Tres bien." "Mademoiselle honours her poor Lucille beyond her dreams. Will you not be seated here in this easy chair?" "My God!" exclaimed Garrick, starting back from the vocaphone. "She is there alone. Mrs. de Lancey is not with her.
I could not imagine that a woman of Mrs. Ogleby's type could ever have really appealed to Carton, but that did not preclude the possibility that some unscrupulous person might make use of the intimacy for base purposes. Then, too, there was the threat that I had heard agreed on by both Langhorne and herself over the vocaphone.
Kennedy, having made the arrangements with the telephone company by which he had a clear wire from the Dodge house to his laboratory, had rejoined me there and was putting on the finishing touches to his installation of the vocaphone. Every now and then he would switch it on, and we would listen in as he demonstrated the wonderful little instrument to me.
Thank you for telling me all your plans, but I am prepared for them already. What do you suppose they would " Garrick stopped short. From the vocaphone had come a sound like the ringing of a bell. "Sh!" whispered Lucille hoarsely. "Here she comes now. Didn't I tell you? Into the next room!" A moment later came a knock at a door and Lucille's silken rustle as she hurried to open it.
The faithful little vocaphone even picked them up and shot them down to us. "Is everything all right?" whispered one, a new voice which was somewhat familiar I thought, but disguised beyond recognition. "Yes. She'll be out in a minute." "Now, remember what I told you. If this thing works you get fifty dollars more. I'd better put this mask on damn it! the slit's torn. It'll do.
Kennedy had been calling and listening intently over the machine, wondering whether it had been put out of business in some way. "It works yet!" he cried excitedly to me. "Elaine!" "Yes, Craig," came back over the faithful little instrument. "Are you all right?" "Yes all right." "Thank heaven!" breathed Craig, pushing me aside. Literally he kissed that vocaphone as if it had been human!
"Very well," I replied, wondering whether he had said what he did in the hope of establishing a complete alibi for the events of the night before. Briefly I told him what had happened, omitting reference to the vocaphone and our real part in it. "That is terrible," he exclaimed.
