He explained that he had motored over, having a little matter of personal business to attend to. "I haven't seen you for some time, Miss Phipps," he observed. "Not since our er little talk about the Wellmouth Development stock. That was the last time, wasn't it?" Martha said that it was.
And very early in the morning we motored down to Folkestone to catch the midday boat for Ostend. And Norah came with us to see us off. If I'd given her the smallest encouragement she'd have come too. I might take her, she said; it was beastly being left behind. I said, like a savage, that Belgium was no place for women. I'd take my sister-in-law there, but not my wife.
He motored me back to the Vippacco bridge at Rubbia. When next I heard of him it was a month later at the height of the Italian offensive. He had been severely wounded on the Bainsizza Plateau. The British Red Cross did splendid work in Italy and made a big contribution to Anglo-Italian friendship and understanding.
He crushed her hands against his lips, and then, turning from her abruptly, walked away, without looking back. It grew cold at Lake Tahoe. When weeks had passed, there was no excuse to stay: the plans of the architect were finished, and the new house begun. Angela went to Del Monte, and motored nearly every day to the forest on the peninsula to see how her home grew.
I saw hardly any more of him. He got his things together with a quickness that astonished me, and he and the Graf, who was going to Berlin by the same train, motored to Stettin to catch the last express.

What she should do she had no idea at the moment, but at all events she must have time to think. She left the bank with her usual light step and her head high, and then she motored down the Peninsula.
Mother and daughter greeted the two men enthusiastically, and at Lady Ranscomb's orders the waiter brought them small glasses of an aperitif. "We've been all day motoring up to the Col di Tenda. Sospel is lovely!" declared Dorise's mother. "Have you ever been there?" she asked of Brock, who was an habitue of the Riviera. "Once and only once. I motored from Nice across to Turin," was his reply.
During the evening the little girl, accompanied by Sir Graball and Lady D'Encloseland, motored round to all the schools where the tea was being consumed: the Baronet made a few remarks, and Honoria made a pretty little speech, specially learnt for the occasion, at each place, and they were loudly cheered and greatly admired in response.
"I am flattered by your recollection, Duchesse," Sogrange murmured. "It is a great surprise to meet with you here, though," she continued. "I did not see you at Cherbourg or on the train." "I motored from Paris," Sogrange explained, "and arrived, contrary to my custom, I must confess, somewhat early.
As she set the chairs straight before the dozen bamboo tables, put each illustrated paper in its allotted place, her inward gaze was turned upon scenes she had left behind with the delightful luxuriousness of a life which, for that small, allotted space, she had been permitted to live. She had driven, she had motored, she had paid visits, had danced. Yes danced!
