>> Warren turned away as Nola was being examined and
>> dressed; it was hard to tell if it was courtesy or
>> sqeamishness that caused him to do so. Instead, he
>> had his attention on the floor. He shook his head.

>> "How utterly peculiar," he said. "Miss Diamond... drug use,
>> you say? An abortion? I am very sorry to hear that..." He
>> looked in the direction of the other room. "I wonder what
>> our Mister Barowenski saw."

	"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."

	<tag anybody who wants to head 'em up and move 'em out -- Pamela 
doesn't care where they go.>
