[MaC] Arriving at the Party ... Arabella, Pamela, Michael & Philip& Ladies in Lift

[Dorothea Salo]

> "Halloo!" came the prompt reply back. "It's Mrs Evans and Miss Mauberly,
> dear. No one hurt, but we do seem to be stuck between floors." 

	"All right -- I'll go for Hodges, then! We'll have you out of there 
safe and sound, don't worry!"

	Pamela started toward the stairs, then stopped. Had Hodges gone to the 
party, or was he moping by himself in Number One flat? She wouldn't put 
it past Marty Fitzroy not to have invited him. But the delay, the delay 
if she ran all the way downstairs and Hodges wasn't there...

	She decided quickly, and hurried back to the penthouse stairs, looking 
for someone who could carry word to the party while she ran downstairs.

	<tag anybody who is or could make an excuse to be outside the 
penthouse, I guess>
