(continued from previous page)her he did not catch her.
If he had she would likely have got a good hammering. She beat him running and escaped. As a result of this flat heavy blow the sinews which had been out of place in this boy's hand for three days were put in again, and when he got over the shock of the sudden blow all pain was gone.
