Rollins was there and had introduced himself. All four were discussing the disappearance of the flivver. "You know how I sleep," said Bob. "But it made so much noise it waked even me." "Where have you been, Jack?" asked Frank. "Why, you haven't undressed. I thought you turned in when I did. But I was so sleepy I never noticed when I tumbled out of bed that you weren't there." Jack felt Mr.
Johnny Two-Hawks probably did it." "Bully for Two-Hawks! Kitty, you're a marvel. Not a flivver from the start. And those slate-blue eyes of yours don't miss many things." "Listen!" she interrupted, taking hold of his sleeve. "Hear it?" "Only the Elevated." "Tumpitum-tump! Tumpitum-tump! Cutty, you hypnotized me this afternoon with your horrid drums." "The emeralds?"
"That's a great improvement." "Some of those little girls from the publishing houses look paler to me than they did," Nancy said. "I wish I could give them hypodermics of protein and carbohydrates." "Give me the name and address of any of your customers that worry you," Dick said, "and I'll buy 'em a cow or a sugar plum tree or a flivver or anything else they seem to be in need of."
Here a guy has got time to think, think, without any hurry or worry. I been thinking, Dole, a lot. I ain't going to say nothing about it, but Dole, I b'lieve I got an idea coming along. No flivver this time. A real, sure-fire hunch. Something that'll go big in the city. Big!" And so I left him there in the shadow of the mountain, staring at the impassable sea.

Rollin' in it. Maggie's done a lot for the fam'ly, too. Gave me a flivver all for myself last Christmas; took me out of the commission house and started me in at high school again. She's right there with the check book, Maggie. "That's what makes them other Zoscos so sore that Brother Jake and his wife. See? They'd planned all along comin' in for most of his pile themselves.
"It takes about all my gumption when I'm wide awake to turn the flivver around in a narrow road, but I manage to do it. . . . Well, what are you doin' in here, Al?" he added. "Readin' the Item's prophesy about how big your majority's goin' to be?" Albert smiled. "I dropped in here to wait for you, Grandfather," he replied.
I caught at his hand in an unwonted burst of tenderness. "Let's walk down that old winding street which you told me about last winter," I said. "I've wanted to see it ever since you spoke about it." "We'll probably motor down it instead," he grinned. "There's a real estate office just opposite here, and I see the agent's flivver in front of the door, where he stands just inside his office.
At the end of the second day's wait he became fearful, and at the end of the third day was beginning to lose hope. On the fourth day he said, somberly, "Well, Maw, I reckon it was a flivver! I've got to get back to New York to-morrow and look for a job in my own line." His optimism was being sorely tried; but his courage was still unweakened.
He wore union overalls that were tan where they were not grease-black; a faded blue cotton shirt; and the crown of a derby, with the rim not too neatly hacked off with a dull toad-stabber jack-knife. Milt smiled at his assistant, Ben Sittka, and suggested, "Well, wie geht 's mit the work, eh? Like to stay and get the prof's flivver out, so he can have it in the morning?" "You bet, boss."
Fortunately, on leaving the radio station, he had swung about in a circle, so as to approach the house from an almost opposite direction. "Over there," said Jack, indicating the direction from which he had come. "There's a little rise some distance beyond there, but in this feeble moon-light you can't see much, so I came back. Then I heard the flivver."
