From
then
on
she
had
known
nothing
until
this
morning
,
when
she
had
been
awakened
by
her
father
stumbling
into
her
room
.
"
Josella
,
"
he
was
saying
,
"
for
God
’
s
sake
get
Dr
.
Mayle
.
Tell
him
I
’
ve
gone
blind
—
stone
blind
.
"
She
had
been
amazed
to
see
that
it
was
already
almost
nine
o
’
clock
.
She
got
up
and
dressed
hurriedly
.
The
servants
had
answered
neither
her
father
’
s
bell
nor
her
own
.
When
she
went
to
rouse
them
she
had
found
to
her
horror
that
they
,
too
,
were
blind
.
With
the
telephone
out
of
order
,
the
only
course
seemed
to
be
for
her
to
take
the
car
and
fetch
the
doctor
herself
.
The
quiet
streets
and
absence
of
traffic
had
seemed
queer
,
but
she
had
already
driven
almost
a
mile
before
it
came
to
her
what
had
happened
.
When
she
realized
,
she
had
all
but
turned
back
in
panic
—
but
that
wasn
’
t
going
to
do
anyone
any
good
.
There
was
still
the
chance
that
the
doctor
might
have
escaped
the
malady
,
whatever
it
was
,
just
as
she
herself
had
.
So
,
with
a
desperate
but
waning
hope
,
she
had
driven
on
.
Halfway
down
Regent
Street
the
engine
started
to
miss
and
sputter
;
finally
it
stopped
.
In
her
hurried
start
she
had
not
looked
at
the
gauge
:
the
tank
had
run
dry
.
She
sat
there
for
a
moment
,
dismayed
.
Every
face
in
sight
was
now
turned
toward
her
,
but
she
had
realized
by
this
time
that
not
one
of
those
she
saw
could
see
or
help
her
.
She
got
out
of
the
car
,
hoping
to
find
a
garage
somewhere
near
by
,
or
,
if
there
was
none
,
prepared
to
walk
the
rest
of
the
way
.
As
she
slammed
the
door
behind
her
,
a
voice
called
:
"
Hey
!
Just
a
minute
,
mate
!
"
She
turned
and
saw
a
man
groping
toward
her
.
"
What
is
it
?
"
she
asked
.
She
was
by
no
means
taken
with
the
look
of
him
.
