"Oh, Bessie, it was perfectly fine of you, and it's only because of you
that we're safe now! But you oughtn't to have taken such a risk! Just

"That's just it, Dolly. I've got time to think about it now, but then I
could only think of you, and what was happening to you. If I'd stopped
to think about the danger I'm afraid I wouldn't have come."

who is in trouble or in danger."

help?"
"I suppose so--but that's different. It just means going in quickly,
without time to think very much about it.
