MRS. CAMPBELL, after a moment of apparent fascination with the notion :

Contains 56 words in 3 sentences using 265 chars .

CAMPBELL:

Contains 25 words in 2 sentences using 131 chars .

Mrs. Campbell runs to the mirror in the corner of the hallway, and hastily reorders her dress and hair, and turns again to her husband . MRS. CAMPBELL:

DR. WILLIAMS, standing with his hat in one hand, and his case of medicines in the other :

Contains 7 words in 1 sentence using 31 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL:

Contains 31 words in 4 sentences using 148 chars .

She throws open the library door, and Dr. Williams disappears within, looking mystified. As she closes the door on him, and turns away, Campbell shows himself at the dining-room door, and addresses her in a stage-whisper . CAMPBELL:

MRS. CAMPBELL, with dismay, which she tries to make pass for astonishment :

Contains 1 word in 1 sentence using 6 chars .

DR. LAWTON:

Contains 8 words in 2 sentences using 38 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL, looking resolutely away from the window in the direction of the dining-room door, which Campbell closes :

Contains 9 words in 2 sentences using 52 chars .

DR. LAWTON:

Contains 18 words in 3 sentences using 98 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL:

Contains 7 words in 2 sentences using 40 chars .

DR. LAWTON, darting suddenly upon her :

Contains 112 words in 12 sentences using 574 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL, opening the door, to peep in :

Contains 1 word in 1 sentence using 3 chars .

DR. LAWTON:

Contains 26 words in 3 sentences using 121 chars .

He goes into the library, and closes the door after him, and at the same instant Campbell flings open the dining-room door, and flies out upon his wife . CAMPBELL:

Contains 33 words in 4 sentences using 165 chars .

Campbell is obliged to speak in an impassioned whisper, so that he shall not be heard in the library . MRS. CAMPBELL:

At the sound of the knob turning in the library door Mrs. Campbell starts in fright, and with a backward glance at Dr. Lawton as he emerges, she flies from the scene . CAMPBELL, gayly :

Contains 3 words in 2 sentences using 15 chars .

DR. LAWTON, grimly :

Contains 3 words in 2 sentences using 17 chars .

CAMPBELL:

Contains 47 words in 5 sentences using 225 chars .

DR. LAWTON:

Contains 30 words in 5 sentences using 139 chars .

CAMPBELL:

Contains 91 words in 6 sentences using 445 chars .

DR. LAWTON, with a fresh access of pretended rage :

Contains 23 words in 3 sentences using 122 chars .

CAMPBELL, with a shrug :

Contains 29 words in 2 sentences using 158 chars .

THE VOICE FROM OVERHEAD, making itself heard through the closed door :

Contains 27 words in 5 sentences using 103 chars .

The voice dies away into the indistinct murmur of other persuasive and menacing voices, and the sound of a struggle, terminating in a wild yell . DR. LAWTON:

CAMPBELL:

Contains 3 words in 1 sentence using 12 chars .

DR. LAWTON:

Contains 13 words in 2 sentences using 80 chars .

DR. LAWTON, dramatically :

Contains 3 words in 2 sentences using 19 chars .

CAMPBELL:

Contains 50 words in 6 sentences using 248 chars .

They both stamp their feet, and a sound of swishing dresses and suppressed voices is heard on the little gallery that looks down into the hallway from above. The dresses and the voices are those of Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Campbell; Mrs. Campbell restrains Mrs. Roberts by main force from rushing down and interfering with the quarrel of the men . MRS.

He advances upon Campbell with lifted hand, as if to strike . CAMPBELL, dramatically :

Contains 5 words in 4 sentences using 27 chars .

DR. LAWTON, dramatically :

Contains 12 words in 4 sentences using 69 chars .

MRS. ROBERTS, in wild appeal :

Contains 89 words in 8 sentences using 422 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL, with misgiving :

Contains 16 words in 2 sentences using 66 chars .

MRS. ROBERTS, wringing her hands :

Contains 69 words in 10 sentences using 327 chars .

MRS. ROBERTS:

Contains 13 words in 1 sentence using 62 chars .

MRS. CAMPBELL:

Contains 10 words in 1 sentence using 41 chars .

They both scream at the tops of their voices. Campbell and Dr. Lawton desist, and look smilingly up at them, with an air of great apparent surprise and interest. At the same moment Roberts and Dr. Williams burst wildly in through the door from the veranda . ROBERTS, with shuddering dismay :

Contains 20 words in 5 sentences using 103 chars .
