"It's on the step, sir," I said with an effort. "Do you want it?" "No, no. But you should always keep it by you." I wiped the sweat off my forehead. "Will you smoke?" said Lord Brethe, producing a cigar-case. "Ah, thanks," said Berry. With the tail of my eye I saw that it was a Corona Corona. By this time I had taken the pipe down. It was choked with a regular wad of dirt.
And zif the devylle, that is with inne, answere, that he schalle lyve, thei kepen him wel: and zif he seye, that he schalle dye, then the prest gothe with the sonne, with the wif of him that is seeke, and thei putten here hondes upon his mouthe, and stoppon his brethe, and so thei sleen him.
"He's done more damage, the few times he's driven it, than a skilled chauffeur would do in five years." "Dear me," said the other. "Knows nothing of the mechanism, I suppose?" "Doesn't know the difference between the carburettor and the er exhaust." Lord Brethe laughed. "Dear, dear. These young men," he said. Here the spanner I was using slipped off a nut.
As I was letting in the clutch, I heard Jill's voice on my left. "Thank you very much indeed for helping us so beautifully," she said, and laid her posy of wild flowers on the seat by my side. "Thank you, madam." As we moved off: "What a queer child!" said Lady Brethe. Two hours later the girl and I slipped once more out of Laipnik.
I got some tools out of the tool-box and began to take the pipe down. "Hadn't you better take your dust-coat off, man?" said Berry. "No, thank you, sir." Berry turned to Lord Brethe, who had come to watch the operation. "All this comes through letting my young brother-in-law play about with the car," he explained airily. "No, really?" said Lord Brethe. "Yes," said Berry.
I just slowed down. Very slowly we drew abreast, and all the time, till we stopped, I leaned forward and gazed at the four in turn open-mouthed they were bending my brows into the fiercest frown and laying my fingers on my lips. Then: "How d'ye do?" said Lord Brethe. Berry swallowed, said "Er oh, how d'ye do?" and took off his hat. The next moment he had himself in hand.
The frogmen would have more air, not only because they had entered the water after the boys were already on the bottom, but because they had not descended so deeply. He wrote, "Rlax. Brethe easy." The less effort they made, the longer their air would last.
"Gently, my man, gently," said Berry pleasantly. "Yes," said Lord Brethe, "be careful of the paint." I almost choked. "Won't you two come and talk to us?" the girl called from the other side of the road. "I always like watching a repair, dear," replied her uncle. "And Mr. Pleydel is an expert." "I think I'd better be here just to supervise," said Berry. "Er have you your cotton-waste handy, man?"
When you are executing a repair, always lay your tools on the ground and mark the place. It's quicker in the long run. Found it?" "Yes, sir." "Wipe it carefully before replacing it." He turned to Lord Brethe. "You'll excuse me, but you can't be too careful, can you?" "No, indeed. Quite right, quite right," said the old fool. "We're none of us too old to learn." The repair was finished at last.
I started up the engine, just to make sure she was all right, put away the tools, wiped my hands on a piece of cotton-waste, and resumed my seat in my lady's car without a word. The girl, looking flushed and anxious, followed her aunt into the car. Lord Brethe climbed in after them. The others stood round. "It's been awfully kind of you to lend us your chauffeur like this," said Daphne.
