Occasionally the Flying Corps officer is able to substitute an excursion by air for the land and water journey, if on one of the dates that sandwich his leave a bus of the type already flown by him must be chauffeured across the Channel. Such an opportunity is welcome, for besides avoiding discomfort, a joy-ride of this description often saves time enough to provide an extra day in England.
Much depended on Watson's tact and judgment, and Stormont felt relieved when he came in. "I've got Drummond downstairs," the clerk said. "Very good," said Stormont. "Had you much trouble?" "I certainly had some. He wanted me to hire a sleigh and take a girl at a sweet-stuff store for a joy-ride. Suggested it when she was there, and I think she meant to go.
Moreover, on this line we could take an occasional joy-ride in a tram like an Irish jaunting-car, drawn by two mules probably also of Irish descent, who invariably ran away with the tram, and, desiring later to rest awhile, were as invariably thrust forward again by the violent impact from behind of the oncoming vehicle. We had a very passable canteen with sometimes real beer in it.
"This is about the most charming joy-ride I have had for many a day," I replied, "but let me introduce myself. I am Malins, the Official Kinematographer, and my friend here is the Official 'still' picture man. We are here to get scenes of the German retreat, but it seems to me that one cannot see Bosche for dust. That is Villers-Carbonel, is it not?" I said, pointing up the road in the distance.
If he stayed away or, coming back, persisted in considering her as a kid and treating her as such, away would go seriousness, life being short, and youth but a small part of it, and back she would go to the Merry-go-round, and once more, at twice the pace, with twice the carelessness, the joy-ride would continue. It was all up to Martin, little as he knew it. And where was Martin?
These youthful ones, would they never learn that this was a serious business? But no, Monsieur, they are young, and how can you make one fear discipline who daily faces death? Poof! It was the grave problem. McGee left Vitry with his own conclusions. So Siddons had pulled a forced landing in order to go for a joy-ride.
You'll drive the large, me the small." "Hah! Tha'z a gran' scheme. At the en', dinner at Antoine', all the men chipping in! Castanado Dubroca me Mr. Chezter, eh?" "With the greatest pleasure if I'm included." "Include' hoh! By the laws of nature!" M. De l'Isle went on up-stairs. "We had a dinner like that," Beloiseau said, "only withoud the joy-ride and withoud those three Mlles.
"Only get a different bunnet " he waved Louisa's from the peg on the hall rack, Felicia didn't mind in the least, she was mouthing this new phrase "Joy-ride," it sounded delightful. All the same she rescued her bonnet and carried it upstairs with her. "I love that boy like a plate of fudge," confided Mrs. Seeley as she and Felicia were ascending to the ornate bedroom where the sewing was waiting.
There's only one person from Pendlemere I want, and that's Loveday. Will you come? I'd just adore to have you!" "O-o-o-oh! If your mother really asks me." "Of course she does! She says she's writing about it to Miss Todd." Such a dazzling prospect as a joy-ride through England was hardly to be refused. In due course Loveday's aunt gave her permission, and the invitation was accepted.
"And you pretty near spoiled what I did do," rumbled Pete. "How's that?" interrupted Thomas interestedly. "I don't know everything that happened to you fellers. I was busy at the time givin' a friend of ours a joy-ride. Tell me about it!" "It wasn't me that nearly broke up the show, Pete," protested Code. "It was mother.
