...been summoned would make haste to reach the low, counter-like structure in the furthest recesses of the apartment. Here was conveyed to each, by the attendant, what must have been in the nature of a sentence, for each was perceived either to startle and grow pale, or to turn away with a countenance of tragick despair, or to depart bearing bundles the possession of which seemed to render him no happier than before...
Because Geneva hoped and believed that Washington will back up the League, Assemblymen looked askance at Chatter Gibson. Unruffled, he strode to a group of seats just outside the Assembly's pale on which sat assorted U. S. and Russian diplomats, the latter headed by Soviet Minister to Finland Boris Stein.

The tenseness of the situation reaches a maximum; suddenly a scream is heard, the butler staggers in, ghastly pale, and the curtain falls. The audience is left to wonder which of thirteen possible suspects, each with some betrayal of guilt, is the murderer. Derby Brown, in the part of the host, first a beaming Mr. Pickwick and then a leering Mephistopheles, does a rare bit of acting which alone...
