tripod.
"Yes, Carraway.... Just the dress, Penny.... I want full-length
front, back and side views of Miss Crain wearing this dress,
Carraway.... Flashlights, of course. Better take the pictures in Miss
Crain's office," Dundee directed. "You stay here, Lydia. I want to talk
with you while that job is being done."
"Yes, sir," Lydia answered, and accepted without thanks the chair he
offered.
"I suppose you have read _The Hamilton Morning News_ today, Lydia?"
"I have!"
"May I have that paper, chief?... Thanks!... Now, Lydia, I want you to
read again the paragraphs that are headed 'New York, May 25--' and tell
us if the statements are correct."
Lydia accepted the paper and her single eye scanned the following lines
obediently:
