Her big motor was waiting outside, and they all got into it. Braybrooke and Craven sat on the small front seats, sideways, so that they could talk to their companions; and they flashed through the busy streets, coming now and then into the gleam of lamplight and looking vivid, then gliding on into shadows and becoming vague and almost mysterious.
That music was like a strange story that drops its plummet deep into life's mysteries. "A new song!" said my uncle, turning to me with surprise on his face. "He got the subject from you.
