- ing paper and was curious to know where it was. (Rising) I’ll ask them.
Catelle
- Well, I could understand that curiosity if the address wasn’t published; but it is; and the telephone number isn’t. And I was interested in finding out why any one ’ud have that particular ’phone number to-day and not know the address—when it’s been in all the newspapers since two o’clock this afternoon. And this call wasn’t made till after five.
Mrs. Craig
- It does seem strange, doesn’t it?
Catelle
- I haven’t been able to figure it out.
Mrs. Craig
- But, I dare say there’s some very simple explanation of it.
Catelle
- Has this telephone here been used at all, to your knowledge, Mrs. Craig, since five o’clock this afternoon?
Mrs. Craig
- Why, I answered a call, a few minutes ago, from Northampton, Massachusetts.
Catelle
- A long-distance call, you mean?
Mrs. Craig
- Yes. It was a Mr. Fredericks, at Smith College there, calling my niece, to inquire about her mother. Her mother is ill in Albany.
Catelle
- I see.
Mrs. Craig
- That’s where we’ve just come from.
