Through the Forest
Through
the Forest
Mrs. Anne Sterling did
not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two
men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a
forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the
trap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running
through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was
soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she
saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so
she ran straight at them. The man got such a fright that they dropped the bag
and ran away, “The trap needs mending,” said Mrs. Sterling later “but they did
not steal anything.”
