When my children were young one of them was suddenly taken ill while out walking in the countryside. I didn't know the area and as we were on the moors houses were few and far between. I picked her up and began to run in the direction I thought would be the best bet, but I was seemingly getting nowhere. A young man approached and just took her. It all happened so fast I didn't have time to react. He ran in a different direction to the one I was taking but we were able to keep up with him, how I don't know. When we came to a cottage he handed her back and knocked on the door. A woman answered and as we stepped inside I turned to thank the young man but he was gone. The woman was a district nurse and she was able to do the neccessary. When I asked her if she saw where the young man went she looked at me funny...she had seen no one.
