The Red Signal (Grace Livingston Hill Book)
“She slipped around behind. Oh, joy! There was a short ladder reaching up to a sloping roof, and above the roof was a window, it was high, but perhaps she could reach it from the roof. There was much hay bulging from the window, but surely she could force her way around the hay somehow and get down to that telephone!
With her heart in her throat she began fearfully to climb. She had never been on a ladder before in her life, being a city girl, and at another time she would have felt it an ad...venture just to try to get up to the roof. But before her eyes, as she climbed was the face of the young engineer, and around her there seemed to be his strong arm supporting her for what she had to do.
She gained the roof, but it was blistering hot, and hurt her hands .and her knees as she crept breathlessly up, slipping back distressingly every now and then. It was only by shutting her eyes and saying to herself, “I must! I must! The time is going fast!”MoreLess
