This order included every member of Mr.Rodney's party, excepting the Medcroft baby.
Considerably distressed and very much concerned over the probable outcome of the conference, the Rodney forces made their way to the offices--not altogether in an open fashion, but by humiliatingly unusual avenues.

The Rodney family came down the back stairs.

Brock was solemnly ushered through the public office by Mr.Odell-Carney and Freddie Ulstervelt.

It is not stretching the truth to say that they were sour and sullen, but, as may be suspected, from peculiarly different causes.
At last all were congregated in the stuffy office, very much subdued and very much at odds with each other.

Mr.Githens was there.
