The fancied sound smote me with homesickness, and to coax my mind from the disappointment which still rankled, I asked Jack when he would let me try my hand at driving. "Not here," said he with a smile, which was instantly explained by an abrupt plunge from the top of a long hill down into a cutting between lichen-scaled rocks, tracing with our "pneus" as we went a series of giddy zig-zags.
We were nearing a skew bridge, with an almost right-angled approach; and the strange resultant of the nicely balanced forces that control an automobile skating on "pneus" over slippery mud twisted us round, suddenly and without warning. Instantly, oilily, the car gyrated as on a pivot, and behold, we were facing down the valley instead of up. Terry could not had done it had he tried.
"It's good for driving; never much dust or mud; and when you motor it gives grip to the 'pneus. It wouldn't do for us of the Netherlands to leave our roads bare." "Why, what would happen?" I bent toward him to ask. "Would the bottom of Holland drop out?" "I think yes," he replied, seriously.
They just suddenly find they want to do them, and presto, the things are done! That's why the world's so exciting. We chatted non-committally of cabbages and kings and automobiles; and I recalled tracing pneu-tracks like illusive lights and shadows before us on the damp road, as we spun into Tintagel. No doubt they were the pneus of the Tyndals.
