"Nobody seems to have slept in these," said she, stepping down; and on learning that even the tramp avoided Separ when he could, she exclaimed, "What lodging could be handier than this! Only it would be so cute if you had a Louavull an' Nashvull car," said she. "Twould seem like my old Kentucky home!" And laughing rather sweetly at her joke, she held the lamp up to read the car's lettering.
This isn't the highway I drove up on to find you, the one where my car's wrecked. This is another one. I don't think we're more than twenty miles from the Lake, here. And that's something I didn't intend!" He began to unload his pockets. "I got something for us to eat. We'll just have to lie low until night and fumble our way out toward the cordon, with the stars to guide us."
But the girl he loved wouldn't marry him unless he promised to take her to England on an automobile trip. Now he hoped she had had enough, and would let him go back to tortoises again. He said he had never enjoyed anything so much as seeing the car's red-hot skeleton jump over the precipice, where it could not hurt anyone, but would just fall quietly to pieces on the rocks.
Now, as she whizzed backward, her vibrant muzzle a bare six inches from the shiny buffer, one of her flying feet slipped in a mud rut. Her balance gone, she tumbled. A collie down is a collie up, in less than a second. But there was still less than a second's space between to overthrown Lady and the car's front wheels. The boy slammed on the emergency brake.
"Be silent, brigand!" roared the Prince, and I could hardly stifle a laugh, for Joseph is no higher than my ear. His shoulders slope; his legs are clothespins bound with leather; his eyes swim in tears, as our car's crankhead floats in an oil bath; and his hair is hung round his head like many separate rows of black pins, overlapping one another.
Burke decided to let her have the truth, or part of the truth. She'd get it anyway, if she examined the replaced "spare" on the car's rack. "There wasn't no blow-out," he stated, defensively. "There wasn't! What do you mean?" He saw that she was first surprised, then startled, then, as some sudden reflection came to her, actually appalled. "I mean that there wasn't no blow-out." "No blow-out?
I adjusted the car's position, jumped out and ran for my life. It hit instantly after about sixty feet from the car. And at the same time, it occurred to me that what I was trying to do was completely impossible. Better to hope that the ball hit a pond, or bounced out to sea, or landed in a sand dune. All we could do would be to follow, and if it ever was damped down enough, grab it.
"We can see this act," she said, "or my car's in front of the theatre we might go to the park and take a turn or two or three. Which would you prefer?" "Don't make me laugh!" said Sam. As they sat all together at supper with those of the box party, but paying no attention to them whatsoever, Anita Flagg sighed contentedly.
If she couldn't help knowing, taking in the car's glittering newness from point to point, that its magnificence had materialized out of her simple wish for it, she at least didn't allow him to think it was any more than she would have expected of him.
Before the ascending car showed a glow of light in the shaft T. A. Buck appeared with hat, gloves, stick. "I think the car's downstairs. We'll run up in it. What's the address? Seventies, I suppose?" Emma McChesney stepped out of the elevator and turned. "Car! Not I! If you're bound to come with me you'll take the subway. They're asking enough for that apartment as it is.
