I got him off by paying a fine of one pound, together with £2 4s. 6d. for the damage done by the horse to the stockbroker's staircase and office furniture. The motorcar, fortunately, had neither injured itself nor anyone else. "I hope," I said, pocketing the money, "that this will be a lesson to you, Sam." "It won't," he said. "At least, not in the way you mean.
"You wouldn't think it possible, but when you realize that he had a yacht of his own and that he could travel up from whatever landing place he chose to his house in Cadogan Square by motorcar and that he could take her straight away into his cellar without disturbing his household, you'll understand that the only difficulty he had was in landing her. It was in the lower cellar that I found her."
Winston Churchill departed for the coast by automobile under convoy of an armoured motorcar. His last act was to order the destruction of the condensers of the German vessels in the harbour, for which the Germans, upon occupying the city, demanded an indemnity of twenty million francs.
She gave the stranger one glance of half contemptuous pity and then looked at the motorcar. "Now that you are here," said Doyle severely, "will you make yourself useful?" Mary Ellen stared at the motor-car. Her beautiful brown eyes opened very wide. Her mouth opened slightly and expanded in a smile.
If, as I believe, the new order which began to manifest itself in the fifteenth century stands to civilization as the aeroplane to the motorcar, and as the motor-car to the bicycle and the horse-cart, or as the turbine to the piston engine, then I am right in claiming that we ought not to call it civilization.

Let's go, Elise; when I start out to do a thing I do like to succeed." "So do I. We'll take the whole afternoon for it, if necessary, but get that stuff we will." The obliging salesman wrote down the address for them, and, taking the paper with polite thanks, the girls went away. But when they reached the street their motorcar was not to be seen.
In their country the government was building roads and setting up courts. The government people wanted Mary to come to that country too, because she knew so much more about the people and customs in cannibal land. "Get a bicycle, Ma," said one of the government men. "Here is the road. Come as far as you can. And we'll soon have a motorcar for you." Mary started out.
Everybody began to move towards the motorcar. A loud cheer burst from the people nearest to it. "It's him sure enough," said Father McCormack. "It's the Lord-Lieutenant," said Doyle excitedly. "Bedamn, but this is great! We'll be all right now." "It can't possibly be the Lord-Lieutenant," said Dr. O'Grady. "He'd never change his mind twice in the same morning."
