CAUSE AND EFFECT
From that time on the four did not hold any more formal discussions
of what they learned. This was due to a most extraordinary
discovery.
They found that they could keep in touch with each other while they
were "visiting"! It was a tremendous help; it enabled them to
communicate and compare notes as they went along. The doctor

his ring, Billie was able to tell the other three all that took
place, as fast as it happened. As usual, Powart's stay was a brief
one.
"I hope you have recovered your former self-confidence," said he,
consciously repressing the masterful note in his voice. "Not that I
am unwilling to wait, Mona."
"You are very patient," she assured him. "I am glad to say that I am
no longer troubled with any doubts of myself.
