My runabout, while hardly a racer, is supposed to have some pretty speedy machinery stored away in it, but the engine had a big undertaking in trying to overhaul that old mare.
She had a vision of Ann as the creature of pure delight she had been fashioned to be, loving life and not knowing fear. From which musings she broke off with a hearty: "Good drive!" and Ann looked up inquiringly. She pointed to the teeing ground some men were just leaving caddies straggling on behind, two girls driving in a runabout along the river road calling gaily over to the men.
To all appearance he was bitterly pre-occupied with the woes of a stalled tourist when a motorcycle chugged to a stop beside the runabout and Owen called him. "I thought you had failed of our appointment, master," he said eagerly as he crawled out. "I have waited for more than half an hour." "It is sad that you should be inconvenienced, old friend," answered Owen.
It had not been long before the party came across the deserted runabout beside the road. There they had stopped, for a moment. It was just then that they heard Kennedy's call, and one of them had been detailed to answer it. "Well, what do YOU want?" asked the officer, eyeing Kennedy suspiciously as he stood there with the armor. "What's them pieces of tin hey?"
She hooked it up pettishly, made a face at herself in the mirror of her dressing table, and, drawing her evening cloak about her, flounced downstairs to her runabout, completely out of humor with the world in general. She drove along recklessly, as was her custom, and when half way to the theatre narrowly missed running down a small, sturdy figure that was marching across the street.
She admitted, herself, that she'd probably have a good time, as she always did everywhere, but still her heart clung to "The Pebbles," as they called their seashore home, and she silently rebelled when she thought of "Camilla," her swift little electric runabout. Patty drove her own car, and she never tired of spinning along the shore roads, or inland through the pine groves and laurel jungles.
"Come up to the room and I'll tell you," answered Larkspur, and then the two hurried off and, joined by Dudd Flockley, hatched out a scheme to get the Rovers into dire trouble with the college authorities. They had a number of preparations to make, and paid a hurried visit to Ashton and several other places, Flockley hiring a runabout for that purpose.
We were met, as Waldon had arranged, by a high-powered runabout, the tender to his own yacht, a slim little craft of mahogany and brass, driven like an automobile, and capable of perhaps twenty- five or thirty miles an hour. We jumped in and were soon skimming over the waters of the bay like a skipping stone.
"I wonder how Bess feels," remarked Daisy with scornfully curled lip. "She thinks a lot of Jack," replied Maud, as both bowed to the occupants of the runabout. "Where do you suppose they are going?" went on Daisy. "Oh, probably to see about having the old car fixed up. Of course, when she got Jack to fetch it she will manage to have him attend to the rest."
And so it came about that all the time the sorrel mare was being harnessed into the runabout the tinker was leading Patsy farther afield. And so it came to pass that when the mare's heels were raising the dust on the road between Lebanon and Arden, they were following a forest brook, deeper and deeper, into the woods.
