:42:04
l was alone.
:42:06
My sister Jenny was sick,
and she stayed home that day.

:42:11
Was there anything unusual
about the driver, Mrs. Driscoll,

:42:14
or the bus
that particular morning?

:42:19
Like what? l mean,
l don't remember a lot.

:42:23
l object to
that form of question.

:42:26
Note that, please.
:42:31
Was the bus on time?
:42:35
And where did you sit
that particular morning?

:42:38
My usual place--the first seat
on the right side.

:42:43
And according
to your recollection,

:42:45
there was nothing unusual
in the drive that morning?

:42:51
Until the accident?
:42:59
There was a brown dog that ran
across the road up there.

:43:06
Dolores slowed down
so that she wouldn't hit it,

:43:08
and he ran into the woods.
:43:12
And then Dolores drove on...
:43:14
and turned onto
the Marlowe Road as usual.

:43:19
l remember that.
:43:24
-l'm remembering pretty clearly.
-You are?

:43:31
Note that she said
''pretty clearly,'' not ''clearly.''

:43:34
What was the weather like
at this time?

:43:35
lt was snowing.
:43:38
Unless the report from
the National Weather Bureau...

:43:41
for the district
on December the sixth...

:43:44
goes into the record,
:43:45
l'm going to object
to that question.

:43:47
l'll offer that report.
:43:51
Well, then, now that your memory
seems to be clearing...

:43:56
can you tell us
what else you observed?

:43:59
''lt's dull in our town
since my playmates left.
