Monica looked as pretty as a picture in her dark green shooting suit and her muffler. She was as excited as a child at its first play. "A car!" she exclaimed. "Oh, Francis, I'll sit beside you!" My brother glanced at his watch. "Twenty to one!" he murmured.

He glanced up and saw the majestic apparition hovering above him, and made frantic efforts to get out of the way, but the camel reached out and bit him on the shoulder before he accomplished it. This was the only pleasant incident of the journey.
