Escape from The Mountains (14)

"Where did the cab driver go?"
"He jes took off and went back to his car."
"Well, that was real nice of him.  Why did he do that?"

Mable explained the reason.  Then Edie calmed down.

"What are we going to do?", Edie asked anxiously.  She wanted to get going.

Mable went outside.  Said she would be back in a few minutes.  She was with a 4' x 8' piece of ply-wood.

"I think we can use this on the steps and ya's can slide down it.  What do ya' think?"

"If you hold the chair back so it doesn't go too fast, I think we have it made."

It worked!  It was a good idea that Mable was strong.  She was built like a bull.

Now the hill.

"I'm sorry you have to do this, Mable." Edie said as the touched Mable's arm.

"I've done worse. Don't ya' fret, now."
