The buggy stood for an instant on two wheels, then fell on its
side with a crash, taking the horse off her feet at the same time.
Huldy pitched forward as the buggy was falling, striking her left arm
upon the wheel, and then fell into the road. Quincy gave a quick leap
over the dasher, falling on the prostrate horse, and grasping her by the
head, pressed it to the ground. The mare lay motionless. Quincy rushed
to Miss Mason and lifted her to her feet, but found her a dead weight in
his arms. He looked in her face. She had evidently fainted. Her left arm
hung by her side in a helpless sort of way; he touched it lightly
between the elbow and shoulder. It was broken. Grasping her in his arms
he ran to the back door and burst into the kitchen where Mrs. Mason was
at work.
Quincy said in quick, excited tones, "There has been an accident, Mrs.
Mason, and your daughter's arm is broken; she has also fainted. I will
take her right to her room and put her on her bed. You can bring her out
of that." Suiting the action to the word, he took Huldy upstairs,
saying, "I will go for the doctor at once.
