Grandmamma said it was no doubt the engagement-ring he had gone to London to buy, and that I really must receive it with a good grace. At about four o'clock, while I was reading aloud the oration of Bossuet on the funeral of Madame d'Orléans, the tuff-tuff-tuff of a motorcar was heard, and it drew up at our gate and out got Sir Antony Thornhirst and Lady Tilchester.
"If you will kindly identify me at a bank," Hollister rose from his chair, "I shall cease to trouble you. I have a draft on the Bank of B.N.A. I do not know any one in Vancouver." "No trouble, I assure you," Lewis hastened to assent, but his tone lacked heartiness, sincerity. It was only a little distance to the bank, but Lewis insisted on making the journey in a motorcar which stood at the curb.

The new machines were in fine trim, and the whole group were in France, at the appointed time and place in due course. The airdrome where the squadron landed was but four hours' drive by motorcar from the point from which Bob and Dicky had started the flight that had ended so strangely for them.
He was hurried off in a motorcar and placed under restraint in a train at a suburban station, from which he was to be carried to a place some 500 miles away.
