"Well, she won't see it. I can put it in my coat pocket." This Charlie did, after a struggle, for the pocket was rather small and the toy auto rather large. "It sticks out and shows," Bunny said, after the toy had been crowded in. "I'll stuff my handkerchief over it," Charlie decided, and this was done.
How is the "man-motor" like an "auto"? Compare the fuel of each. 4. From what source do all the fuels get their force or energy? 5. How do plants get their fuel, or food? 6. What is meant in saying that man takes his food at second, or third, hand? 7. Why do we need a mouth? 8. Does a plant have a mouth? Where? 9. Draw a diagram showing how the food is carried into and throughout the body. 10.
Gunther honors me very much, and, although of course I do not deserve his praise, I shall certainly not refuse his request." Gunther bowed gravely from the hips in the Continental manner, without rising. "When may I come," he asked; "to-morrow? Good! I will bring the clay out by auto." "You lucky woman," exclaimed Constance. "To think of being immortalized by two great artists in one year!"
They quickly made a raft by collecting some boards and logs that had come down with the flood, and had caught in the fence corner near which their auto was anchored. Uncle Tad helped them nail the boards together, and then Bunny and Sue floated the raft over into a little rain-water lake in the middle of a field and began shoving it about with long poles.
"I want to go to-night. Now! Pack the trunks quick. I've got the finest auto you ever saw waiting at the door." On the second following Friday evening, Audrey's suite of rooms at the Hôtel du Danube glowed in every corner with pink-shaded electricity. According to what Audrey had everywhere observed to be the French custom, there was in this flat the minimum of corridor and the maximum of doors.
We had it, and by rising at last, sweet Molly Winston saved me from doing the musicians a mischief. "Lord Lane, you promised to let us drop you, in the car," she said to me. "Oh, I don't mean to 'drop you' literally. Our auto has no naughty ways. I hope we are not carrying you off too soon." Too soon! I could have kissed her.
Before coming to Yuma I had entertained hopes of getting some one with a motor boat to take me down and back, but there were no motor boats, I found. The nearest approach to a power boat was an attempt that was being made to install the engine from a wrecked steam auto on a sort of flat-bottomed scow.
The Beckett auto was ready, but the dog's joy was too big for the biggest car, so Brian and I walked to the château, and Jack Curtis with us, to exchange stories of le grand chien policier, late "Sherlock." Matching the new history on to the early mystery was like fitting in the lost bits of a jigsaw puzzle bits which, when missing, left the picture void.
"Well, they may have been so frightened they didn't realize what they were doing, or they may have thought he would get better treatment in a private house, if he were not badly injured, than if he should be taken to a hospital. It may have been that one of the persons in the auto was a physician, and wished to try his own skill on the man he had hurt."
"If I had beat you," said Laddie, "I was going to ask you why is an automobile tire like a snake." "Pooh, that's easy to guess," said Russ. "'Cause it's round and fat." "Nope," said Laddie. "It's 'cause a snake hisses and so does an auto tire when the air comes out." "Oh!" said Russ.
