" there was a moment of panic. who had screamed? it was mrs. schächter. standing in the middle of the car, in the faint light filtering through the windows, she looked like a withered tree in a field of wheat. she was howling, pointing through the window: "look! look at this fire! this terrible fire! have mercy on me!
