It's no use, Anthony! he gasped.
gpt
There's not a trace of her yet!
human
No?
gpt
She's gone! She's _gone_! cried Robert, breaking into his familiar refrain.
human
I've just had the house on the wire, and there's no news of her at all as yet. I've had police headquarters on the wire, and they haven't heard or seen a thing. Miriam--that's one of her chums--has just finished going over Bellevue, and there's no sign of Mary down there!
gpt
She's gone! said Robert Vining.
human
And I've been around to Helène's--that's another of her chums, Anthony--and she's going to telephone all the girls. That takes that off my hands and leaves me free to go over all the hospitals that haven't been covered yet. That's what brings me here, old man. You'll have to come with me.
gpt
Very well! Anthony said swiftly.
human
We'll start now.
gpt
Because I haven't got the nerve to do it alone! Robert cried.
human
I--somebody has to go to the Morgue, too! And suppose we should go down there--I was there just once and I had the horrors for a month--suppose we should go down there and find her, Anthony, all----
gpt
Hush! said Anthony.
human
Don't go into the possibilities; there's a lady present, Bob.
gpt
What?
human
To be sure. Mrs. Boller--Mr. Robert Vining.
