Chapter VII
* The right of dramatization of this and succeeding chapters is reserved by the writer. Lady Caroline fainted. The cold watery nose of her dog on her cheek brought her to herself. She dared not look over the edge of the car; she dared not look up to the bellying monster above her, bearing her to death. She threw herself on the bottom of the car, and embraced the only living thing spared her,--the poodle.
