It was Larry's strange instinct to protect Maggie that prompted his next remark: "You're not just out joy-riding, are you, Dick?" Dick flushed. "Nothing of that sort. She's not that kind of girl. Besides I think it's the real thing, Captain." The honest look in Dick's eyes, even more than his words, quieted Larry's fear for Maggie.
The other two "got tickets to England," as they say. My lady will take the convalescents joy-riding in her car, and afterwards seat them in easy chairs, arranging the cushions with her own hands, and feed them slices of cold chicken in place of bully beef and strawberries and cream in place of ration marmalade. Oh, my! What hopes! Mr.
Wetherbee went on in a tone loud enough to be heard by all the office force. "The Bank of England?... I've got something else to do besides advance money every other day to a bunch of joy-riding spendthrifts. In my day a young man ordered his expenditures to suit his pocketbook. We got our salary once a month and we saw to it that it lasted... What's the matter somebody sick at home?"
Dusky as it now was, the Irish lad recognized the car and the two boys on the front seat. "Hi, Ikey!" he yelled to his chum, back in the store. "See who's joy-riding! And they never said a word about it." Ikey ran out in a hurry. "Stingy! Stingy!" he cried, almost getting into the path of the automobile.
"But who would be joy-riding in this part of the country?" Laura objected. "The country people hereabouts probably don't know what the word means."

"He does. But he can't or won't keep in formation. He cuts out, and goes joy-riding." "Seems to me I remember someone else who used to do that same little stunt," Larkin said, smiling reminiscently. McGee flushed. "Yes, I suppose I did, but not in training. I never cut formation until " "Until you saw something that looked like meat. Don't try to kid me, Red.
He understood everything especially as to what she meant by saying that she would go joy-riding, that she would make life spin whichever way she wanted it to go. It was the right of youth, and what was she but just a kid? He had never stood over her and demanded payment, and yet he had given her everything.
"Smart, if you please," I snapped. "Ah," he sighed, rolling his eyes, "it is fine to be in love." A full minute passed before I grasped the meaning of that soft answer, and then it was too late. He had gone about his business without waiting to see whether my wrath had been turned away. I had been joy-riding!
It was the first time the driver had ever dared to disregard those upraised, white-gloved hands, and it filled his joy-riding soul with exultation.
