First came Dr. Trezevant, who announced Burnet Rhett's
death. “No, no; I have just seen the bulletin-board. It was Grimke Rhett's.”
When the doctor went out it was added: “Howell Trezevant's death is there, too.
The doctor will see it as soon as he goes down to the board.” The girls went to
see Lucy Trezevant. The doctor was lying still as death on a sofa with his face
covered.
