there was q rumble Of ambulances, the
jar and shock of the abrupt stop, the
clash of gears, the hurried lifting and
carrying of broken bodies.
''There were shivering cries from
those ambulances, and sometimes means
and there Was drip Of red on the
cobblestones and across the threshold
and down the steps into the cellar."
