I propose therefore that we do not vote until the afternoon session...

Up to this time Dr. Ruxton's neighbors had credulously accepted his casual references to Mrs. Ruxton's erratic behavior in having gone away for a visit and taken along the children's nurse, without a word to him or any of them...
