awful has happened!"
Christi, hearing Lucy's voice, rushed to the foyer and in a half hysterical sob blurted out about the apoplexy, Oscar, amnesia and Castor Oil.
Aunt Nancy, turning suddenly ashen, as if someone were pumping every ounce of blood out of her body, said, "Oh," and slumped to the floor in a dead faint.
Christi stood helplessly over her employer looking as if she wanted to lie down besides her.
Gigi, forgetting all about the spell ran to the doorway and at the exact same moment, Prince Charming appeared at the opposite door, which had been left open in the excitement.
Gigi started sobbing loudly.
"What happened?" said the man, looking from Aunt Nancy to Christi to Gigi.
Before Christi seemed able to find her voice, he added, "Help me to lift Misa Hunt to the sofa."
Gigi's cries turned into loud wails.
"Quiet Gigi." His voice was stern but not unkind.
Then Christi started the story all over again. When she had finished, he said, "Get Miss Hunt a glass of cold water and stay with her. She'll be all right in a few minutes." Then his eyes turned toward Gigi.
This was too much for the unhappy little girl. She turned quickly and fled to her room. Prince Charming followed her. Sitting down on the bed besides her, he said, "Tell me all about it Gigi."
