All about the stand an angry crowd of men was surging, all talking at once, so that nothing could be made out of the babel of shouts, except when some person with unusually good lungs made himself heard in a denunciation of one or the other riders. Ted had joined the crowd, waiting for the arrival of Bud and Stella.
Ted was working in a garage through the summer vacation, and he related his daily triumphs: how he had found a cracked ball-race, what he had said to the Old Grouch, what he had said to the foreman about the future of wireless telephony. Ted and Verona went to a dance after dinner. Even the maid was out. Rarely had Babbitt been alone in the house for an entire evening. He was restless.

He wondered if that was at all like what Ted might have thought when he and Nancy But that wasn't comparable in the least. But Nancy and he were different.
Thereupon her brother groaned more loudly until Janet stopped him by dropping two or three chocolate pills into his opened mouth. "Oh! Gurr-r-r-r! Ugh! Say, you 'most choked me!" spluttered Ted, as he sat up and chewed the chocolate. "Oh, I didn't mean to," said Janet as she ate a pill or two herself.
