Whilst the special train was speeding on towards Stoneleigh Cross, Lady Letty's precious moments were being wasted by the cruel misfortune which had overtaken her. The trouble was no fault of her own; she could not possibly have foreseen or guarded against an accident like this. It was as if Hugh Childers had worked out a story for her, but had omitted to tell her of an extra chapter he had added. He might even have imagined such a disaster as this; something of the kind might have come into his fertile mind, but if it had, he would have dismissed it with a smile.
Such extraordinary complications are all very well in books, but they do not happen in real life.
