last a long time yet and now this evening it went and the car hit a tree judging by the wreck he must have been going at the devil of a pace he never went at any other said mark well well its a sorry business yes ill go and break the news to miss merridew then ill run over and see if i can be of any help though i dont know that i car do anything a few minutes later ranee rode away and mark walked
