The accident had disturbed her sadly. The only unperturbed one in the
party was Jake. He took things with philosophical calm.
"Knew more trouble was comin'," said he, and contented himself by
dismissing the situation with that.
"I've got good news for you," said Jimsy, coming up; "your car isn't
hurt a bit."
"Oh, good!" cried the girl, clasping her hands and flushing. Her veil
was raised now and they saw that she was very blonde, very pretty and
just now very pale.
"My, what a rambunctious ram!" punned Roy; "he ramified all over,
didn't he?"
"Gracious, for a time I thought I was seeing things!" gasped the girl,
who was seated on a tufted hummock of grass at the side of the road.
"And then you felt them," laughed Jimsy. "That's the way such things
run."
They all laughed. Soon after, Roy, Jimsy and Jake dragged the small
runabout out of the ditch. In the meantime Peggy had introduced herself
and Jess to the young girl. The latter's name was Lavinia Nesbitt.
She lived not far from the scene of the accident, and had been taking
a jaunt in her machine.
