Here the car finally stopped of its own accord, and they walked along a rutty road, past a stone-cutter's yard with a high fence tapestried with theatrical advertisements, to a little red house with green blinds and a garden paling. Really, Mr. Ramy had not deceived them. Clumps of dielytra and day-lilies bloomed behind the paling, and a crooked elm hung romantically over the gable of the house.
"Seems yesterday, sir." "How's the go-fever? Still working?" Carrick laughed. "Overtime, sir. Hundred miles an hour till we get there wouldn't be too fast for me."
