Van de Vorst was at the ensuing election dismissed from the hospital, with at least a suspicion that the cause of his dismissal lay in his having advised the girl to go to Lourdes at all. Dr. Boissarie makes an interesting comment or two on the case, allowing that it may perhaps have been hysteria, though this is not at all certain.
And if in covering the five miles to Judge Van Vorst's he exceeded the speed limit, the fact that from the rear seat Jimmie held the shotgun against the base of his skull was an extenuating circumstance. They arrived in the nick of time. In his own car young Van Vorst and a bag of golf clubs were just drawing away from the house.
But he did come back just in time for dinner, through which he sat pretending that he was interested in Phyllis Van Vorst and casting gloomy looks in the direction of the oblivious Hermia. At the end of three days there were no more than two people in the house on terms of civility, and most of Hermia's guests had departed.
When Captain McCoy had driven away, and his own car and the golf clubs had again been brought to the steps, Judge Van Vorst once more attempted to depart; but he was again delayed. Other visitors were arriving. Up the driveway a touring-car approached, and though it limped on a flat tire, it approached at reckless speed.

It was her brother's machine, but they were alone with the exception of the chauffeur.
I'm not picking out gun sites for the Germans; I'm picking out positions of defense for Americans when the Germans come!" Van Vorst laughed derisively. "My word!" he exclaimed. "You're as bad as Jimmie!" Captain McCoy regarded him with disfavor. "And you, sir," he retorted, "are as bad as ninety million other Americans. You won't believe!
A chorus of protests greeted her decision. "You shan't, Hermia," shouted Reggie Armistead, "until either Salignac or I have tried it out." "You will oblige me, Reggie," replied Hermia calmly, "by minding your own business." "O Hermia, after falling this morning! How can you dare?" cried Miss Van Vorst, with a genteel shudder. "Si Mademoiselle me permettrait " began Salignac.
His standard was borne by his trusty squire, Cornelius Van Vorst; consisting of a huge oyster recumbent upon a sea-green field; being the armorial bearings of his favorite metropolis, Communipaw.
He's mad over the idea that every stranger he sees " The prisoner quickly interrupted. "Please!" he begged, "Don't blame the boy. He behaved extremely well. Might I speak with you ALONE?" he asked. Judge Van Vorst led the way across the terrace, and to the smoking-room, that served also as his office, and closed the door.
