But Barbara by devoting her whole effort to saving her companions had been badly bruised and shaken . Someone in the meantime had shut off the motors and pushed the car out of the way . The wreckage of the gates was also cleared away at the direction of Mr. Presby , so that no one else should collide with it . The doctor remained at Treasureholme until nine o'clock in the evening . Before taking his departure , however , he gave strict orders that none of his patients were to be allowed to leave their beds until he called the next morning , and pronounced them able to rise and dress . Mrs. Presby broke down and cried after she learned that the girls were not seriously injured . Tom went out in the woodshed and wailed so loudly that he was heard in the rooms upstairs .
