First among the girls⁴

Susan is a great runner. She went ahead of me. Madhuri and Annette were right behind her by the canal, but I didn’t see them.

Before I greeted Susan, I looked at the time. It was four minutes to six. I said, “How can she do this? She is not allowed to run alone until after six o’clock.”

Then, ten metres behind, I saw the other two I said, “All right.”
