His hand, as gaunt as a skeleton's, assisted to alight a young woman whose brilliant blonde beauty, viewed for the first time in evening shadows, was like a shaft of sunlight in a darkened room. A well-made creature, becomingly and modishly gowned for motoring, spirited yet dignified in carriage, she was like a vision of, as she was palpably a visitation from, the rue de la Paix.
She wore a new and elaborate motoring costume, charmingly becoming, and was in the act of mounting to a seat beside Valentine Corliss in a long, powerful-looking, white "roadster" automobile.
I guess I'll get over to New City with it safe and sound. I hardly think I need a bodyguard." "Humph! Maybe not. I guess you'll be all right." "Your sister seems much interested in motoring," remarked Ed as they trudged along. "Oh, yes, sis is just wild about it. She learned to run my car, and then began teasing for one of her own.
"So, no doubt, is reeling, writhing, and fainting in coils. Motoring down these serpentine hills is like hurling yourself into space, and trusting to Providence." "So is all of life," said Jack. "A timid man might say the same of getting out of bed in the morning." "Even I can do the trick," cut in Molly, who was taking a temporary interest in our affairs again.
"What were you at his age, dear?" Soames smiled grimly. "We went to work, and didn't play about flying and motoring, and making love." "Didn't you ever make love?"

"Cousin Clare is coming!" rejoiced Dulcie.

And I've got plenty of things to tell you." He plunged into them. It was evident that he was resuming topics familiar to them both.

The weather was fine and there was motoring daily. All her old friends came to see her with warm words of welcome on their lips. Among them was Sam Hardy. "He is very nice. He gets his clothes made in New York now. Such good times as we're having!" And down in one corner of the last page was, "If only you were here!" "P. S.," popped into his mind.
