I thought about it all the time I was dressing it's dreadfully bad for one to think whilst one's dressing and all lunch-time, and I'm still hung up over it.

Lee Milligan was scooping sand upon the other side and mumbling to himself, with a glance now and then at the trail, in the hope of sighting a good samaritan with six or eight mules, perhaps. Lee thought that it would take about that many mules to pull them out. The two riders pulled up, smiling pityingly, just as well-mounted riders invariably smile upon stalled automobilists.
Come, you men and women automobilists, get off the paved streets of Los Angeles and betake yourselves to the back country of San Diego county, where you can enjoy automobile life to the utmost during the summer.
About a mile and a half from the crossroads the road Bessie was now following crossed a railroad, and as she neared that spot she moved as carefully as she could, for a suspicion that gave her a ray of hope was rising in her mind.

Carwell's sister, Miss Mary, keeps The Haven up to date for him. You've been there?" "Once, at a reception. I'm not on the regular calling list, though Miss Viola is pretty enough to " "Look out!" suddenly cried Sharwell, as though appealing to the two automobilists, far off as they were. For the yellow car made a sudden swerve and seemed about to turn turtle.

However, Phil unhesitatingly took the branch that cut in toward the river, so he said nothing for some time. "Ever been over this road before?" he ventured to ask when the road suddenly became so rough that they stumbled at every step. "No never been up this way.
Anybody, Jevons said, could have an all-white car, and it wouldn't be noticed any more than a common taxi-cab. But one magpie in a countless crowd of cars annihilated all the rest. Lemon colour was good and so was scarlet; but for effect for sheer destruction to other automobilists there was nothing like a white car with black points.
