Barry thought there was, but we couldn't find it. Then he remembered he'd used it to wrap the handle of his tennis racquet once. "I got some gum," says I. "The very thing!" says Ann.
"Why, Neale!" said Marise, astonished and touched. "Yes, quite a flight of fancy for me, wasn't it?" commented Neale casually, leaning forward to change the carburetor adjustment. Marise felt Paul lean over her shoulder from the back of the car. "Say, Mother," he said in her ear, "would you just as soon get in back with me for a while?" Neale stopped the care.
However " With a sigh of resignation Bud got out what tools he wanted and went to work. Foster got out and stood around, offering suggestions that were too obvious to be of much use, but which Bud made it a point to follow as far as was practicable.

"And why not, I'd like to know?" he cried with scorn.
I remembered how firm but kind I was obliged to be with that old engine. I remembered how it always put its hands in its pockets and took an extended vacation every time I swore at it. I decided to be nothing but a perfect gentleman with this engine. I even endeavored to be a jovial good fellow. "What is it, Little One?" said I mentally; "does its little carburetor hurt it?
"'Our Ideal Citizen I picture him first and foremost as being busier than a bird-dog, not wasting a lot of good time in day-dreaming or going to sassiety teas or kicking about things that are none of his business, but putting the zip into some store or profession or art.
