I'll joy-ride yuh up and down this damn' scenery till the gas gives out." "You'll teach me to fly. There's enough gas for one good lesson, anyway." "Oh, all right. Sure, I'll teach you, if you're able to learn. But you hustle more gas down here, see? I'm all fed up on this country, and I ain't denying it. First off, we'll do a straightaway.
But," he added, slowly, "as I said before, I expect to see us arrive there together, and in order. That is all, gentlemen. Yonder comes the sun. To your ships now, and look sharp as you take off. Remember, this is no joy-ride. Hold your positions." The pilots broke into a run for their ships, slapping one another on the shoulder as they ran. "Luck, old war horse." "Same to you, big feller."
Still, he was of Scotch-Irish stock, and even the most ardent Nationalist would be slow to maintain that the men from beyond the Boyne are what is popularly and tersely described as "quitters." "I'd be better pleased if I had any sort of notion where that joker was heading for," he said, with a grim smile. "I didn't count on taking a joy-ride at this hour of the morning."
"I'd love it," said Peter. "Besides, the A.C.G. said I was to look up those people." "Oh, well done. It isn't a joy-ride at all, then. Have another, padre, and let's get off. No? Well, I will. How's yours, Scottie?" Ten minutes later the three of them got into a big car and glided smoothly off, first along the river, and then up a steep road into the forest.
"Ladies an' gentlemen," said M. Castanado, "we are on a joy-ride." "An' we 'ave reason!" his wife exclaimed. "Biccause hope!" Mme. Alexandre put in. "Yes!" said Dubroca. "That manuscrip' is not allone receive'; sinze more than a week 'tis rittain', whiles they dillib-rate; and the chateau what dillib-rate' you know, eh? M'sieu' De l'Isle, I move you we go h-on."
That it may be better to have had a stellar joy-ride and be sent to hell for speeding than keep your boots forever in the clay, I will neither affirm nor deny; but the prudent man hitcheth to the moon! As we went toward the fort she turned to me, asking: "Don't you think they should have been here sooner? Do you fear anything you won't tell me?"
Well, naturally, it was up to me to blow him to a joy-ride, and that's where the money went. 'Where the money went? 'Sure. I've got two dollars left, and that's all. It wasn't altogether the automobiling. It was the meals that got away with my roll. Say, that kid Beckford is one swell feeder. He's wrapping himself around the eats all the time. I guess it's not smoking that does it.
The joy-ride that followed was rather like the kind they give pigs on the way to the sausage shop hurried and not intended to be mirthful. "What's the use of losing tempers?" I asked Captain Jacques Daudet, who had captured us. He sat on my knees, with his pistol pressed against my chest. "Why not regard the whole thing as a joke? You've done your best and nobody can blame you.
But I guess all that can wait, for I'm anxious to get to business. We're not here on a joy-ride, Major, so I reckon we'll leave out the dime-novel adventures. I'm just dying to hear them, but they'll keep. I want to know how our mutual inquiries have prospered. He gave Peter and me cigars, and we sat ourselves in armchairs in front of the blaze.
"Some joy-ride, don't you think?" "I can fancy," laughed Katie, "that it might be hard to beat. I think," she added, "that he's just the one for you to marry.
