The tryst seemed full of suspicion, and I certainly did not like it. The evening was bright and clear, and the run in the fast two-seater would be enjoyable. But to meet a man who would give a password savored too much of crookdom. He quickly saw my hesitation, and added: "Now, Hargreave, I ought not to conceal from you the fact that there may be a trap.
Perhaps Aunt Sophia will be so kind as to use the money it ought to last some time for the general upkeep, wages, etc., of Denby Hall. I feel sure she will not refuse me this favour. Give Peggy my love and tell her I hope she will accept the two-seater as a parting gift. It will make me happier to know that she is driving it.
The yard was full of visitors' cars in process of being cleaned, and chauffeurs were busy with hose, or polishing fittings. "I wonder where Johnson has put ours?" said Carmel, threading her way between an enormous Daimler and a pretty little two-seater. "Oh, there it is! That dark-green one in the corner. Come along! There's just room to pass here behind this coupé.
"Thank you, sir." "There is nothing else?" "No, sir. Should you wish me to 'phone you again before tomorrow morning, sir?" "No, Elizabeth." "Thank you, sir. Good-by, sir." "Good-by, Elizabeth." The rest of the party has scattered to the gardens or the porch Oliver has wandered into the library alone to wait for Peter who is bringing around the two-seater himself.
Don't be earlier, and don't be later. And, above all, don't fail me, or I will never forgive you."

Lady Susan apparently enjoyed the fun as much as any one, and was perfectly charmed when, as the two-seater glided past Sir Philip's Rolls-Royce, he flung an exquisite spray of crimson roses into her lap, with a sprig of rosemary nestling amongst them.
We had noted nothing of particular interest, and at last we turned for home. "We had not gone far when right ahead came a Boche flier pounding for home himself, apparently. It was a two-seater. He evidently liked our looks but little, and started to climb for safety. But we could climb, too. He had never met one of that pusher type, I guess.
It was, therefore, with a cry of delight that she welcomed Sandy, who arrived in his two-seater shortly after Roger had ridden off to the meet. Lady Gertrude and Isobel had already gone out together, bent upon some parochial errand in the village, so that Nan was alone with her thoughts. And they were not particularly pleasant ones. "Sandy!" She greeted him with outstretched hands. "You angel boy!
He brought me where stood biplanes and monoplanes of all sizes and designs, and paused beside a two-seater, gunned fore and aft, and with ponderous, wide-flung wings. "This," he explained, "is an old battle-plane, quite a veteran too jolly old bus in its way, but too slow; it's a 'pusher', you see, and 'tractors' are all the go. We're having some over to-day tophole machines."
The next morning dawned propitious, and Vane, as he drove his two-seater through the park to Ashley Gardens, sang to himself under his breath. He resolutely shut his eyes to the hurrying streams of khaki and blue and black passing in and out of huts and Government buildings.
