Without trying to emulate the breathy voice of La Monroe, Barbara Loden gives an exhibition of shattering virtuosity as the ill-fated Maggie.

As snippety schoolgirls, they wondered what posterity would make...
...chest proves to be empty. After a bitter, final attempt at finding the little girl buried in Mumbo's hulk, Dicey falls ill. When the Maltese discovers her, she is mysteriously bruised and barely conscious, muttering: "It's all gone, was it ever there? No, never there...
