Bab 81: Loud intuitions

My feet were quick as I left the village grounds and entered the outset of the forest. The rainy season wasn't here yet, so the ground was mostly dry. I looked around and there was no one there. Fang had certainly said he would wait around here.

I walked a little further, lifting the hem of my dress, into the blanket of trees from where the village was not visible anymore. There was too much foliage here and there was no automobile in sight. Suddenly, I heard hooves and wheels running towards me and I turned around to see a carriage speeding towards me. 

A carriage! In these times!

I moved out of the way and the carriage came to halt a little ahead of where I stood. It was navy blue in colour, with a leather exterior and two black horses that pulled the carriage. The coachman wore a simple attire but did not bat a lash at me, as if not daring to look at me. He got down and opened the carriage door for me.
