Roy was at the wheel in Mollie's car she had invited him to act as chauffeur and he had gleefully accepted with Mollie herself beside him and Will and Amy in the tonneau. The others Mrs. Irving, their young and jolly chaperon, and the four girls and boys were to make the journey in Frank's big car, with Frank, of course, at the wheel. "Hello, Betty!" Will shouted.
Holmes was as good as his word. He brought them into the central part of the town just at the time he had promised, and sprang out to open the door of the tonneau for them. "Must you really go now?" he said, dejectedly. "You'll be leaving me all alone, you know. Can't you finish your shopping, and then let me run you out to Arkville for luncheon?"
"He ought to be taken to your house, Bones, to let your father examine him. I'm afraid he may be badly hurt," said Frank; "if you can help him into the tonneau of the machine I'll try and see if it will work." "Say, can you run it?" asked the second man, eagerly. "I know something about cars; enough to drive this one, if it isn't damaged in its working parts.
The driver, a young man, had his head turned and was talking to three companions who sat in the tonneau. He did not see the dusty traveler in the road ahead. The boys set up a shout. "Look out! you'll run him down. Look out " But their caution came too late.
One gracious afternoon, while I was occupying the front seat beside the driver, I almost attained a state of contentment. I was pretending that I had forgotten all about the human freight in the tonneau.
As for Sam and Pete, they were much frightened, and cowered down on the floor of the tonneau. "Maybe you'll shut me in the tank again and splash mud on me!" shouted Tom. The rear wheels of the auto were lifted still higher from the ground, as Mr. Sharp turned on a little more gas. Andy was not proof against this. "Oh! oh!" he cried. "Please let me down, Tom. I'm awful sorry for what I did!
Had Nesbit Farnham been announced before the arrival of the two young women, Patricia would undoubtedly have denied herself to him; but, with the announcement of his name, there came to her the sudden recollection of the ultimatum pronounced by Richard Morton the preceding afternoon, when he had brought her home from her father's office in his automobile, the tonneau of which had been occupied by the two young women who were now present with her in the room.
Gray to the railway station and was driving back to the Nesbits' in David's car, that Anne ventured to broach the subject of Tom to Grace. Elfreda, Hippy, Miriam and Nora were in the automobile just ahead. Mr. and Mrs. Harlowe and Mrs. Gray had driven to the station in David's car, so, on the return, Grace and Anne had the tonneau of the automobile quite to themselves.
The lieutenant commander's present doubt of Jack Benson was likely to work to that young man's disadvantage later on. Others of the party left the auto. Hal and Mr. Farnum got into the tonneau, supporting Jack there between them. Thus they carried him to Mr. Farnum's office at the yard, Grant Andrews then going in the car after a doctor, while the others stretched Jack on the office sofa.
The front cushions and woodwork had caught fire and a couple of labourers, panting with the run across the fields, were vainly belabouring the flames with brushwood. From beneath the overturned tonneau projected the lower part of a man's leg, clad in a brown puttee and a russet shoe.
