No no my dear, make his jacket, and win his heart if you can!" Some few hours later, panting and throbbing, the Daimler motor drew up in the Castle courtyard Adrien and his friends had arrived for the great steeplechase.
After half an hour of their company, seven intermediates had determined to mould themselves absolutely on the lines of "Cousin Coralie", and to marry exact replicas of Mr. Burritt. It was felt that ambition could soar no higher. "I'm glad you like them," said Diana, as she stood on the steps with some of her friends watching the Daimler pass out through the gate.
The destination-boards and advertisements are no more, for the buses are painted a neutral green all over; but the conductor is always ready and willing to tell you what his previous route was. "That Daimler behind you, sir," he informs you, "is one of the Number Nineteens. Set you down at the top of Sloane Street many a time, I'll be bound.
Fentolin, a strange little figure lying back among the cushions of the great Daimler, raised his hat and waved it to them. "Come along, children," he cried. "You see, I am here to fetch you myself. The sunshine has tempted me. What a heavenly morning! Come and sit by my side, Esther, and fight your battle all over again. That is one of the joys of golf, isn't it?" he asked, turning to Hamel.
"It is to be hoped, sir," the man said, as he retreated, "that the gentleman from Scotland Yard will catch the thieves. After all, they hadn't more than ten minutes' start, and our Daimler is a flyer." "I'm sure I hope so," Peter Ruff answered, heartily. But, alas! no such fortune was in store for Mr. John Dory.

In the St Anton valley the snow had stopped and she let down the window for air, for she was choking with suspense. The car rushed past the station, down the hill by Peter's cottage, through the village, and along the lake shore to the Pink Chalet. Ivery halted it at the gate. 'See that you fill up with petrol, he told the man. 'Bid Gustav get the Daimler and be ready to follow in half in hour.
Soon a young French engineer, named Levassor, began to experiment with models of motor engines, and in 1889 he obtained, with others, the Daimler rights to construct similar engines in France. From now on, French engineers began to give serious attention to the new engine, and soon great improvements were made in it.
"Yes, yes, of course," said Craven hurriedly, "you did quite right." Then he glanced about him and frowned again thoughtfully. "Isn't this the Daimler Gillian took to France with her surely that is Phillipe driving?" he asked abruptly, peering through the window at the chauffeur's back illuminated by the electric lamp in the roof of the car.
