Now that motor-cars have popularized the road once more, and old inns are again frequented, the collector seeks in vain for what were once quite common.
He stood and watched it go bumping away over the rough, desert road, pieces of which had been gnawed off by a late flood, as a cake is bitten round the edge by a greedy child. They had had enough of motor-cars for that day, up there on the hill! The Caïd was glad when the sound died.
