But so
far as I could see there was nothing in this first film that
incriminated either of them.
Kennedy started on the second without stopping. It was practically
the same as the first, only taken from a different angle.
He had scarcely run it half through when Dr. Guthrie opened the
door.
"I think Mrs. Willoughby must have taken her hands off the metal
domes," he remarked; "I can get no record out here."
I had turned when he opened the door, and now I caught a glimpse
of Mrs. Willoughby standing, her hands pressed tightly to her head
as if it were bursting, and swaying as if she would faint. I do
not know what the film was showing at this point, for Kennedy with
a quick movement shut it off and sprang to her side.
"There, that will do, Mrs. Willoughby. I see that you are not
well," he soothed. "Doctor, a little something to quiet her
nerves. I think we can complete our work merely by comparing
notes. Call Mr. Willoughby, Walter. There, sir, if you will take
charge of your wife and perhaps take her for a turn or two in the
fresh air, I think we can tell you in a few moments whether her
condition is in any way serious or not.
