We can run her there by gravity," I said at last. "Then he'll only have to walk to the station to get home. Unless we take off 'is boots first," Pyecroft replied. "That," said our guest earnestly, "would be theft atop of assault and very serious." "Oh, let's hang him an' be done," Hinchcliffe grunted. "It's evidently what he's sufferin' for." Somehow murder did not appeal to us that warm noon.

"The petrol will light up and the boiler may blow up." "How rambunkshus! And" Pyecroft blew a slow cloud "Agg's about three hoops up this mornin', too." "What's that to do with us? He's gone down the road," I retorted.
