5/13 Every body knew Hope Wayne--every body loved her. They knew it was madness to leap--that their only chance lay in remaining perfectly quiet. They both knew the danger--they knew that every instant they were hovering on the edge of death or accident. How strange to Hope's eyes, in those swift moments, looked the familiar houses--the trees--the signs--the fences--as they swept by! How peaceful and secure they were! How far away they seemed! She read the names distinctly. She thought of little incidents connected with all the places. |
