She stood quite still as though
his question had somehow taken
away her power to move or think.
There -was, he thought, almost
look of horror on her face.
"Never mind, Cassie darling,

Madame was propped high on
her pillows.
"Anna. She is asleep?"
Suddenly-a low rasping sound
rated through the room. Parris
started with a kind of terror. He

Barton, 62-year-old waiter, told
police a cut on th- bark of his
neck was what he got for try

He said he served a cup of
coffee to a young man who
picked up a sugar bowl and
