Already this evening you have called it a bus, a boat, a kite, a star-hound, a wagon, an aerial flivver, a sky-chariot, a space-eating wampus, and I don't know what else. Even Martin has called it a vehicle, a ship, a bird, and a shell. What is its real name?" "I don't know. It hasn't got any that I know of. What would you suggest, Dottie?"
The Boob is the hope of conservatives, the terror of radicals and the meal check of cynics. If you are run over on Market Street and left groaning under the mailed fist of a flivver, the Bolsheviki and I.W.W. will be watching the shop windows. It will be the Boob who will come to your aid, even before the cop gets there.
At last she came over and dropped onto the steps at his feet. "Well?" she inquired, looking up. "Did you get it?" "I did, indeed. A beauty, Delight." "A flivver?" "Not at all. A very handsome car." He told her the make, and she flushed again with pleasure. "Joy and rapture!" she said. "Did you warn him I am to drive it?" "I did. He suggests that Graham give you some lessons." "Graham!" "Why not?"
Here in Gopher Prairie we've cleared the fields, and become soft, so we make ourselves unhappy artificially, at great expense and exertion: Methodists disliking Episcopalians, the man with the Hudson laughing at the man with the flivver. The worst is the commercial hatred the grocer feeling that any man who doesn't deal with him is robbing him.
This time all went well. Alice drove her "flivver" at Mr. Bunn, who was properly knocked down and looked after by Ruth. No small boys, with an exaggerated sense of humor, got in the way, and the girls were shortly back in their apartment. They had moved to a more pretentious home since their success in moving pictures, and the Dalwoods had taken an apartment in the same building.
Was I right, momsie?" "My baby! It's like I can't realize it. So young!" "He took the measure of my finger, mama, with a piece of string. A diamond, he says, not too flashy, but neat." "We have 'em, and we suffer for 'em, and we lose 'em." "He's going to trade in the flivver for a chummy roadster, and " "Oh, darling, it's like I can't bear it!"
"He went to the Western Developing Company with it two months ago and had them so worked up that they looked into the title. They even sent a man out there to investigate." "Flivver, I suppose?" guessed Loring. "Rank," corroborated Johnny. "Washburn, of the Western Developing, was telling me about it yesterday.
Crazy drunk, that's all. Now he's gone dead on us, like a flivver run out of gas." The dog smelled of the man and growled. "Don't like it, do you? Most honest men and dogs don't. Moonshine's no good for anybody. And now, just for that, we're in for something of a task.
As it approached, the driver must have sighted her and increased speed. He came up at thirty-five miles an hour. "Now we'll get something done! Look! It's a bug a flivver or a Teal or something. I believe it's the young man that got us out of the mud." Milt Daggett stopped, casually greeted them: "Why, hello, Miss Boltwood. Thought you'd be way ahead of me some place!" "Mrwr," said Vere de Vere.
"As a mind-reader you're a flivver," chided Gamble. "I'll let you down one notch, Colonel. I'll make it fifty thousand and not one cent less." The colonel looked at him sorrowfully. "Do you really mean that, Johnny?" he inquired. "I really mean it." "Well, if you say you really mean it you really mean it. I know you well enough for that," admitted the colonel with a sigh.
