At that moment the door gave in to Tavia's pulling, and she fell headlong out into the aisle with the baby in her arms. The train stopped, and brakemen were now running through the cars in search of the trouble. Passengers had broken the tool boxes and were fighting the spreading flames with hand grenades and portable extinguishers.

And beyond the black railway lines miles upon miles of flat open country, green fields, rows of poplars standing up in them very straight; little woods; here and there a low rise bristling and dark with trees. The fighting must be over there. Under the balcony the white street ran southeastward, and scouting cars and ammunition wagons and long lines of troops were all going that way.

There are only five cars in town, one of which is kept in the repair-shop for effect. I've hired one." "Humph!" he cried. "What will the kings do?" "Kings!" I cried. "What kings?"

But dead or alive, flowers are all right for folks, ain't they, Jim? The train goes at ten o'clock. Can ye do it, Jim?" Jim was brushing his hair with one hand and reaching for his coat with the other. "Here's the money to pay for the ride on the cars," Pearl said, reaching out five of her coins. Jim waved his hand. "That's my share of it," he said, pulling his cap down on his head.

Bullfinch was good at missing the other cars. At the very edge of collision he was a marvelous driver. Jerry held on to the door pull most of the time. It was not a long drive to Rockville.
