Guthrie to the Willoughby house. Several times he
tried to reach the doctor by telephone, but it was not until the
middle of the afternoon that he succeeded.
"I shall be quite busy the rest of the afternoon, Walter,"
remarked Craig, after he had made his appointment with Dr.
Guthrie. "If you will meet me out at the Willoughbys' at about
eight o'clock, I shall be much obliged to you."
I promised, and tried to devote myself to catching up with my
notes, which were always sadly behind when Kennedy had an
important case. I did not succeed in accomplishing much, however.
Dr. Guthrie himself met me at the door of the beautiful house on
Woodridge Avenue and with a hearty handshake ushered me into the
large room in the right wing outside of which we had placed the
telegraphone two nights before. It was the library.
We found Kennedy arranging an instrument in the music-room which
adjoined the library. From what little knowledge I have of
electricity I should have said it was, in part at least, a
galvanometer, one of those instruments which register the
intensity of minute electric currents.
