When he left her there were men who tied her up and said to watch guard for the Highwayman. It hit moonlight and the highwayman was coming. She got her hands loose and held the trigger to warn him. She shot herself and saw her love ride away in the moonlight. Then the highway man came riding towards her in fierce and he got shot because he was trying to save his love. In the story "Typhoid Fever" there was two kids named Francis and Patricia who are roommates in the Fever Hospital. Francis liked Patricia a lot. They talked and and she read a story about the Highwayman. They talked to much and they were warned to stop or they were going to separate. They didn't and Francis was moved him upstairs. He was all alone and was missing her and how he missed her telling the story. He wanted to know what happened about the highwayman. He said that he would love to ride in the moonlight and go see Patricia and would not give a hoot who saw him.
