Doctor Frank's anxious eyes counted them; there were the Captain and Grace, Harry and Agnes, and last of all, Kate.
The servants were all there, but there was one missing still.

Doctor Frank was by Grace's side in a moment.
"Where is Eeny ?" "Eeny! Is she not here ?" "No.

Good Heaven, Grace! Is she in the house ?" Grace looked around wildly.
"Yes, yes! She must be! Oh, Frank--" But Frank was gone, even while she spoke, into the burning house.

There was still time.

The lower hall and stairway were still free from fire, only filled with smoke.
He rushed through, and upstairs; in the second hall the smoke was suffocating, and the burning brands were falling from the blazing roof.
Up the second flight of stairs he flew blinded, choked, singed.
