Bombed Off Her Bicycle

I was out in a private home and it was very near Coventry and I had a funny thing happen to me. I had to have a bicycle because I lived quite a long distance from the hospital, another girl and I, and we used to have to go to the hospital whenever there was a raid and that would be every clear night. And this night I was pedaling furiously to get there and I used to have little shortcuts down little roads. And one bomb came down pretty close to me to knock me off my bicycle and covered me with earth and I was so surprised to have a man standing beside me hauling me up and saying, “Are you alright? ” He had followed me, knowing where I was going and that I might need help. I thanked him and he said, “You know, I can only hope that someone will be as kind to my daughter when she needs help.”
