REASSURING
Suddenly the car stopped. It had no petrol, so perhaps that was but natural. The lady occupant descended and fiddled about, but, of course, the car stayed where it was. So in the end she found an old villager, who obligingly offered to put her up for the night. Soon after the visitor retired that night she gave vent to a hysterical shriek The old woman of the cottage appeared with a candle. “A mouse just ran across the floor!” announced the visitor. “Couldn’t ’a* been,” retorted the old woman. “There ain’t no mice here. Must ’a’ been a rat.”
