"I daresay they've asked him by now," answered Pamela apologetically,
coming back from the kitchen. She had pinned her hair back at her
temples and let it fall; not as neat a job as she might have liked, but
it would do. "Just a minute and I'll be quite ready to go."
Pamela tidied up her kit-bag, spread a sheet over Nola's body, bundled
up the apron and rags she and Tabitha had used during the examination in
another clean cloth, and picked up the remaining clean material in her
other hand. "I think that's all," she sighed. "Shall we go and join the
others? What a perfectly dreadful Christmas Eve this is turning out to be."

doesn't care where they go.>
