spurt and dashed straight through the frightened herd, scattering
them right and left, like feathers blown by the wind.

Daisy and Maud came next. They had time to jam down the brakes,
but it would have been wiser to have dashed through the flock
without loss of time, for an angry ram turned as the car slacked
speed, and when Daisy and Maud saw him jump toward them, they also
jumped out into the gutter, deserting their car.
