She opened the carriage door before he reached her and stepped to the ground.
Horton put out his hand as if to hold her back and spoke pleadingly: "Won't you drive up to my house, Mrs.Alexander?
They will take him up there." "Take me to him now, please.

I shall not make any trouble." The group of men down under the riverbank fell back when they saw a woman coming, and one of them threw a tarpaulin over the stretcher.

They took off their hats and caps as Winifred approached, and although she had pulled her veil down over her face they did not look up at her.

She was taller than Horton, and some of the men thought she was the tallest woman they had ever seen.

"As tall as himself," some one whispered.
Horton motioned to the men, and six of them lifted the stretcher and began to carry it up the embankment.
