When he had thus established himself as a person unemotional and interested only in business, he sauntered out. He took a particularly long time to start his car; he kicked the tires, dusted the glass of the speedometer, and tightened the screws holding the wind-shield spot-light. He drove happily off toward the Bellevue district, conscious of the presence of Mrs.
Swallow, taking her pace with all McGloin's nerve and skill, had caught her before she had traveled half a dozen yards. Emetic flung dirt hard, but Swallow hung on, using her as a wind-shield. She was using the pacemaker's "going." The track was in surprisingly good condition, but there were streaks of damp, lumpy track throughout the long back and home-stretch.
Hostesses often provide linen dusters and goggles for those of their guests who desire them. It is wise, also, to include a few motor blankets, in case the weather changes and the guests become chilly. A considerate host, or hostess, will see that the wind-shield, top and side-curtains are adjusted to the entire comfort of all the occupants of the car.

It was as if he must make up for long arrears of hopelessness.

That will be jolly; but do have the wind-shield I hate to be blown out of the car no, it isn't becoming You're a goose! besides, my hair tickles my nose. No, I haven't had a word from mother, and I don't understand it at all.
"This car?" he demanded bluntly, "this the Sequoia stage! Take a look, lady. This here's a Napier imported English automobile. It's a private car and belongs to my boss here." "I'm so sorry I slandered your car," she replied demurely. "I observed the pennant on the wind-shield, and I thought " Bryce Cardigan turned and lifted his hat.
