I was just going to see about hiring an auto. Know where I can get one in this town?" "What do you want with an auto when I have my little jitney?" asked Babson, indicating the motor-cycle. "She's a good machine, but I haven't cleaned her lately. She'll carry double, too. Hop up behind me and I'll have you at Elmwood in no time. I'll bring you back, too, though I won't promise to carry the seal.
"Have you a dog and a cat, grandma?" asked Rose, as Mr. Mead drove off in his auto with the parrot. "Yes, I have, my dear." "Oh, where are they?" "Zip, my dog, is out in the barn, I imagine. He generally goes out there when Tom is working around." "Who's Tom?" asked Laddie. "Is he the cat?" "No, Tom is the hired man. Thomas Hardy is his name."

The culprit, who had been a third time an offender, and whose expulsion was at this time deemed irreversible, was brought forth, as at some solemn auto da fe, arrayed in uncouth and most appalling attire all trace of his late "watchet weeds" carefully effaced, he was exposed in a jacket, resembling those which London lamplighters formerly delighted in, with a cap of the same.
"But I am mighty glad that you are safe. Do you think everybody is out?" "We don't know, but they ought to be out, for we had plenty of warning. The fire started in the barn, you know." "What caused it?" "They think one of the men must have been smoking and dropped a light in the hay. Anyway, the fire started there." "The other fellows took the auto to help the fire engine," broke in Sam.
We gave the answer up, but we couldn't give up Ole. He was too valuable to lose. How to catch him was the sticker. An awful uproar in the street gave us an idea.
