Then taking the lady’s hand he said: “You were very lucky to have such presence of mind, lady. I was afraid you’d be killed.” “H-how do you mean?” she asfeec as she got up. “The runaway, ma’am. When the horse passed me I thought nothing couid save you, but you cooly threv yourself to one side and saved you life.” “I—l—didn't—” “I doubt if any rniin in the world could have done better,” he went on. “Just the moment you hoard the hors you knew what to do. You are no: hurt—not even frightened. Call n carriage? No; good day, ma’am. Your husband should bo proud of you. No danger of your ever getting run over.”
