That I was going to do something, I made up my mind the instant Laddie said he was not mad at me; that I was his partner, and asked me to help; but exactly WHAT would do any good, took careful thought.
Here was my chance coming right at me.

She was far up the road, riding Maud like racing.

I began to breathe after a while, like you always do, no matter how you are worked up, and with my brain whirling, I went slowly toward her.

How would I manage to stop her?
Or what could I say that would help Laddie?
I was shaking, and that's the truth; but through and over it all, I was watching her too.

I only wish you might have seen her that morning.
