By the speed they traveled, Lucky Lode knew that Casey and no other was at the steering wheel, even before he took to the lake. "And then," said the foreman, "we saw your lights go round and round in a circle, and disappear " "They didn't," Casey cut in trenchantly.

There is nothing very trenchantly French about him either, except the large necktie; his eyes are small and his words are sharp, ironical, cynical.
