The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: and there were four corners to the room, and therefore eight boards,
each one of which would answer to the description of being the
"sixth panel."
She went to the corner nearest her, and dropped down on her knees.
As well start with this one! She had not dared press Danglar, or
Danglar's deformed brother, for more definite directions, had she?
She counted the boards quickly from the corner to her right; and
then, the flashlight playing steadily, she began to press first one
knot after another, in the board before her, working from the bottom
up. There were many knots; she went over each one with infinite
care. There was no result.
