The accountant looked around the car, encountered Lydia's eyes, and smiled sheepishly. After a time of silent waiting, enlivened only by the murmur of the conversation between the motorman and the conductor outside, the gray-haired man suggested to Lydia that it would be cooler out under the trees, and if she would like to go he would be glad to help her.

On the other side a brewery waggon was locking with the coal waggon, and an east-bound Kearny Street car, wildly clanging its gong, the motorman shouting defiance at the crossing policeman, was dashing forward to complete the blockade. And waggon after waggon was locking and blocking and adding to the confusion. The meat waggons halted. The police were trapped.
A trolley car was rounding the street corner, the motorman sounding his bell noisily. "Betty Gordon, isn't it?" asked a pleasant voice. A round-faced man was smiling down at her, a young man, Betty decided, in spite of the white hair. His keen dark eyes were pleasant, and he held out his hand cordially.
"So are the rest of us," added a lot of voices in chorus, and Tom, turning to see who beside himself and his companions had got aboard, was hugely amused to see the Kangaroo, the Monkey, the Hippopotamus and all the other creatures from the Trolley, save only the conductor and motorman, seated there behind, as happy as you please. "It doesn't pay to associate with conductors," said the Flamingo.
"I guess likely," assented the motorman. "They got after Dielman the other day, did you hear, because he " The talk drifted to gossip of the world of work-people. It stopped short as the 'cello again sent out its rich, vibrant introduction to the peal of full-throated joy.

Tom looked in the direction in which the Bellows had pointed, and, sure enough, there was a cloud coming slowly along, shaped very much like a trolley car, and on the front of it, as it drew nearer, the lad was soon able to discern the funny little figure of a Brownie acting as motorman. "Why, it's really a trolley!" he cried. "Certainly it is!" laughed Righty. "Didn't you know that?
"I can't remember ever having seen her around here before, but then the girls have all grown beyond me since I left home. She has what some people call auburn hair, but I like to call it red, although it had lots of gold in it. She got on the last stop before you get into Ryeville. Seemed to know everybody on the car even the motorman and conductor.
Inza's gloved hand crept into Frank's, and he felt it quiver a little in his grasp. With a single exception, every one on the car seemed to regard the falls with interest. Even the motorman and conductor took a look at them. The exception was an old man, who wore a long cloak and carried a crooked cane. His hands rested on the handle of his cane, and his gray head was bowed on his hands.
I've no objection to making a little trip in your car, which is certainly mighty comfortable, but first I'd like to be asked whether I want to go or no."
