"Here! You quit that!" ordered Andy. "You've gone too far, Tom Swift!" "Didn't I tell you it was an accident?" inquired the young inventor. "It wasn't!" cried Sam. "You threw the bottle at us! I saw you!" "It slipped from my pocket," declared the youth, and he described how the accident occurred. "I'll help you clean your car, Andy," he added. "I don't want your help!
