Eva was frightened when she saw one of the men running towards her so she increased her pace and got into the carriage. It was at this point that she realized that Jeffery had been the rider so running away will be a bit difficult. Just as she thought the man was going to pull her out.
She saw a force pull him back. The man that rushed after Eva could not explain what happened. He just found a force too strong for him to fight to pull him back and he landed on the ground with a loud. *Thud
The other three men seeing this also rushed to fight Jeffery at the same time but he managed to dodge all their blows, he knew that if one of these men managed to hit him then he will be in lots of trouble.
These men were not trained fighters like Jeffrey, the three just attacked without any formation. This made it easy for Jeffery to dodge. After failing to touch Jeffrey with their first attacks, the men become skeptical but they did not give up.
