I'd better drive the limousine, and you take the landaulet." "That won't do," said the millionaire. "Germaine won't go in the limousine. You know she has taken a dislike to it." "Nevertheless, I'd better bucket on to Paris, and let you follow slowly with Germaine. The sooner I get to Paris the better for your collection.
Unquestionably, the number of the gray landaulet now within a few feet of them was XY 1314. Theydon stooped, opened a dressing case lying at his feet, and took out the automatic pistol placed there by Bates. He put it in the right-hand pocket of his coat. "Now, I'll reconnoiter," he said, and opened the door.
And these two were presently joined by another, and then two more, until there was a rapidly swelling crowd around the landaulet. Merlin would hear a young man beside him say to his perhaps well-favored companion: "If you'll just pardon me a moment, there's some one I have to speak to. Walk right ahead. I'll catch up."
Within three minutes every inch of the landaulet, front, back, and side, was occupied by a man a man trying to construct a sentence clever enough to find its way to Caroline through the stream of conversation.
In a world where salvation for a woman is in a pair of slippers I have to be damned. If I could have kept my hair smartly done up and worn sheer batiste do you suppose for a minute I'd be a companion to Mrs. Turnbull? I could be going out to the cafes in a landaulet." "And looking a lot better than most that do," he commented without premeditation.
He nodded to several men in the narrow corridor of the car; men like himself in luxurious summer clothes, but for the most part fatter; then in the shed, looking about in vain for Bernard, his son-in-law, he proceeded to the street, where his automobile was waiting. It was a glittering landaulet, folded back and open.
Picking it up his face was suffused by a darker tide; this was the result of stooping and the angry realization that in spite of his prohibition Louise had been using the landaulet again. She must be made to understand that he, her father, had an absolute authority over his family and property. Marriage to Bernard Foster did not relieve her from obedience to the head of the house.
On the same chassis we mounted a town car at $1,000, a roadster at $825, a coupe at $950, and a landaulet at $950. This season demonstrated conclusively to me that it was time to put the new policy in force. The salesmen, before I had announced the policy, were spurred by the great sales to think that even greater sales might be had if only we had more models.
As the terminology of the railway in England is derived in part from that of the earlier stage-coach in the United States, I may interject, it was derived in part from that of the earlier river-steamboat so the terminology of the motor-car in France was derived in part from that of the pleasure-carriage. So we have the landaulet and limousine to designate different types of body.
Some fifty yards away his keen eye had caught sight of Bobinette's taxi: he had identified the number. "There it is!" He urged the chauffeur to follow it up closely, regardless of consequences. "A moment more and we shall have caught up the 249," said Brocq to himself. His landaulet was gaining ground.
