A couple of miles brought her into a small town, and on inquiry she was quickly directed to the doctor's house.
Dr. Cassell, a kindly, middle-aged man, was startled to come into his surgery and find a girl there who was evidently on the verge of collapse.
Bundles spoke abruptly.
"'I—I think I've killed a man.
I ran over him.
I brought him—I brought him along in the car.
He's outside now.
I—I was driving too fast, I suppose.
I've always driven too fast.'
The doctor cast a practiced glance over her.
He stepped over to his shelf and poured something into a glass.
He brought it over.
"'Drink this down,' he said, "'and you'll feel better.
You've had a shock.'
Bundle drank obediently, and a tinge of color came into her pallid face.
The doctor nodded approvingly.
"'That's right.'
