As she was about to negotiate the surly looking man on guard within, Sperry came rushing down the long dark passageway. He was brushing past her when he saw who it was. "Too late!" he cried. "Rehearsal's over." "I didn't come to the rehearsal," explained Susan. "I thought perhaps Rod would be going to lunch." "So he is. Go straight back. You'll find him on the stage.
During this unconscious process of locomotion one can dream over one's thoughts and still go on. Legs and arms move themselves; sore muscles become reconciled to their burden they become numb; the mind is thus left alone in peace. Alice Thayor's thought was occupied with the incidents leading to her last evening with Sperry. Every feature stood out in bold relief.
But I knew, by her grim smile, that she would station herself by her window, and that I would stop, unless I made a detour of three blocks to avoid her. She is a very determined woman. Sperry was waiting for me in his library, a pleasant room which I have often envied him. Even the most happily married man wishes, now and then, for some quiet, dull room which is essentially his own.
Sperry in responding expressed her great pleasure that Northern and Southern California would now work together for woman suffrage. The report of Miss Laughlin, State organizer, showed that fifty-two new clubs had been formed and that the membership had more than doubled in the past year, and the treasurer, Miss Schlingheyde, told of $2,063 contributed for organization work.
"I saw your watch go, Horace, but tomorrow I won't believe it at all." "How about your companion?" I asked. "Can she take shorthand? We ought to have a record." "Probably not in the dark." "We can have some light now," Sperry said. There was a sort of restrained movement in the room now. Herbert turned on a bracket light, and I moved away the roller chair. "Go and get Clara, Horace," Mrs.
So even Sperry was watching. He was in love with her, but his scientific mind, like my legal one, was slow to accept what during the past two weeks it had been asked to accept. I left him at ten o'clock. Mrs. Dane was still at her window, and her far-sighted old eyes caught me as I tried to steal past. She rapped on the window, and I was obliged to go in.
It was, it will be recalled, on the Thursday night following the second sitting that I had gone alone to the Wells house, and my interview with Sperry was on Friday. It was on Friday afternoon that I received a telephone message from Mrs. Dane. It was actually from her secretary, the Clara who had recorded the seances. It was Mrs.
"Didn't I tell you!" said Spenser to Susan, in triumph. "We'll move at once. Go pack your traps and put them in a carriage, and by the time you're back here Sperry and the nurses will have me ready." It was about three when Susan got to her room. Clara heard her come in and soon appeared, bare feet in mules, hair hanging every which way.
I have quoted this interruption to show how little, outside of Sperry, Mrs. Dane and myself, the Neighborhood Club appreciated the seriousness of the situation. Herbert, for instance, had been greatly amused when Sperry spoke of my finding the razorstrop and had almost chuckled over our investigation of the ceiling. But they were very serious when I had finished my statement. "Great Scott!"
Sperry, being a brisk young lad, Low would very fain have taken him into his crew, but the lad having still virtuous principles remaining, earnestly entreated that he might be excused.
