She was contented, the fear was
gone, her aching arms were no
longer empty, her head dropped over
the baby.
All at once the brakes went down,
abruptly, sickeningly. There was
a staggering crash, splintered con-
fusion, panic, death.
The woman in black was hurled
across the aisle on a heap of bodies
mingled with debris. But stronger
than love of life was the mother
love, and even as she fell, she
guarded the little form she clasped,
shielding it with her own body.
Like a flash her brain cleared and
she saw herself back in the great
house, a broken-hearted woman,
bent above baby's bed. The awful
moment when. at the light on the
face she watched. wild hope leaped
up to struggle with despair-and
then they had led her away, and
everything was blank.
