Transcriber’s Changes:
[Page 30]: Added closing double-quote (Ellen. “I haven’t looked at an American paper for ever so long.”)
[Page 32]: Was ‘that’ (Bentley suddenly knew what the man was trying to say. The half-uttered)
[Page 32]: Was ‘interne’ (Five minutes later the ambulance intern hastily scribbled in his record the entry, “Dead on Arrival.”)
[Page 41]: Added closing double-quote (chauffeur to go faster than twenty miles an hour.”)
[Page 44]: Was ‘scarely’ (The words had scarcely left his mouth when a blind man, tapping)
[Page 45]: Was ‘multilated’ (Bentley, in his mind’s eye, saw the two dead, mutilated drivers, and the passengers with them, he saw)
