It had all happened so swiftly, that his professional instincts were slow in reasserting themselves after the "buck" of the car. "You're right," he exclaimed. "There's an alarm clock and a dry battery the same man made this who built the gas-generator " "Whadd'ye mean ain't you the feller after all?" asked the first patrolman, beginning to get dubious about his arrest. "No, I am no thief.
The car, without a driver, its engines whirring madly, dashed into a helpless corner fruit stand, scattering oranges, bananas, apples and desolation in its wake, as it vainly endeavored to climb to the second story with super-mechanical intelligence! Shirley, stunned and bruised, fell to the pavement where he lay until an excited patrolman rushed to his rescue.
Receiving no reply, he ran forward a few steps, throwing us into temporary shadow, looked round uncertainly, and then struck with a fresh idea, plunged into the road and made for the fire call-box at the corner. And almost as though his presence had been the cause of the fire, it dimmed, flickered, flared and went out, leaving us in darkness. Slowly we moved towards it. The patrolman came back.
It's getting along toward dark when Patrolman Morgan, who's on duty out in the hall, comes in and says to me there's a woman outside who can't talk English and he can't make out what she wants. So I tells him to bring her in. She comes in. Right away I see she's a Ginney an Italian," he corrected himself hurriedly. "She's got a child with her a little boy about two years old."

Turning to the patrolman, he asked, "Has that fellow been taken to the hospital?" "The ambulance came up just as we left, sir." "Bernhardt says he didn't hit him.

And Annie because she was Irish too and perverse held her head high and went with Collins openly before the eyes of the pained and jealous patrolman.
A half-bright, half-dark globe lay below-the planet Varenga IV, on which the precinct police station for this part of the galaxy had its location. Patrolman Willis, frowning with care, established the squad ship's direction, while Sergeant Madden observed without seeming to do so. Presently Patrolman Willis pushed a button. The squad ship went into overdrive.
She passed a mounted policeman, who recognized her and raised his hand in salute, but the idea of reporting the strange affair in the strip of woodland occurred to her only to be dismissed.
