it was not her fault at all

Dear Papa, I meant to write you sooner, and hope you have not been worried by not getting a letter from Mama Bess. She was hurt by a streetcar last week but is all right now. She does not want anyone in Mansfield to know about it, because she says it looks as if she could not take care of herself in a city, but on account of not writing for so long she thought I had better write and tell you. - West From Home, letter dated October 20, 1915

Laura never would have fallen off that streetcar - going full speed - if Gillette hadn't jumped off it as he did. Why would Gillette jump off a streetcar going at full speed, anyway?
