Dick and Molly were having a bad time of it at the hands of Von Wrangel. The little German was all impatience to finish the work that he had already begun; he was cross and snappish in the cab which conveyed the party to the operating-room which had been loaned for the occasion. Nurse Cecilia was waiting there, but there would be no need for her services.
-"And why you two people came along, goodness knows," Von Wrangel said, testily. "Go away and look at the shops. Go and find my friend Tom Seymour. Scold him him for neglecting you all this time, Miss Molly. Then come back in an hour's time and we will go back to Stanmere together. At present I am not what you call in the most seraphic mood."
