"I see I have neither advice nor help to expect from Mr.Julian Gray." Julian beckoned to the servant to follow him into a corner of the room.
"Do you know if the doctor has been sent for ?" he asked.
"I believe not, sir.

It is said in the servants' hall that the doctor is not wanted." Julian was too anxious to be satisfied with a report from the servants' hall.

He hastily wrote on a slip of paper: "Has she recovered ?" and gave the note to the man, with directions to take it to Lady Janet.
"Did you hear what I said ?" Grace inquired, while the messenger was absent in the dining room.
"I will answer you directly," said Julian.
The servant appeared again as he spoke, with some lines in pencil written by Lady Janet on the back of Julian's note.

"Thank God, we have revived her.

In a few minutes we hope to be able to take her to her room." The nearest way to Mercy's room was through the library.
