The town of Breakwater had never gone beyond the annual dog show, and this progressive young man confided to his cousin Daisy that on a certain day next week he expected several of his friends from out of town, who were sure to come in autos, and: "Why not tell them to `slick up' their machines, and you girls could do the same?
"I knew her a long time ago," was the grave answer, as he turned his horse into the road that wound up the eastern side of the mountain. "Oh, you're going to take the Cliff Drive!" cried Polly delightedly. "Dr. Dudley could n't go, because they won't let autos up there." "No, for one might meet a skittish horse. I like to come up here once in a while for the view."
It will soon be Christmas, and if you don't get autos or steam engines you'll get something else," and then he vanished from sight, and Flop Ear and Curly Tail went home, wondering very much at what had happened.
They are a lithe set of little men and look as if they had steel springs to make them go when you look at their course. Still I have been only in autos, of which there are not many here.

Milt made a toothpick out of a match, decided that toothpicks were inelegant in his tragic mood, and longed: "Never did see her among her own kind of folks till now. I wish I could jabber about music and stuff. I'll learn it. I will! I can! I picked up autos in three months. I Milt, you're a dub. I wonder can they be talking French, maybe, or Wop, or something?
Tom was just as much pleased to be left alone, but he did not want Andy Foger to think that he could have matters all his own way.

Shortly thereafter the two autos moved slowly off, while the aeroplane raced above them, going at a far faster speed. Regina turned to Fanning. "Do you think that odious boy suspects anything?" she asked. "I guess he does.
Judas was a manikin made in the shape of the person who happened to be most unpopular at the time. It was quite admissible to burn Judas under different shapes, and sometimes these summary autos da fe were multiplied to suit the occasion and the temper of the people.
"He's been running his aeroplanes and autos around town a long time, and surely there must be some one who has a grudge against him. I suppose he has lots of friends, but who are his enemies?" Then he learned about Andy Foger, and, hearing that Andy now lived in a nearby town, the man had at once gone there. It was not long before he reappeared and the red-haired bully was with him.
Most of the people of the world have never understood this. To the majority, acquisition, the multiplication of needs, desires and tastes constitute progress and seem to be the roads to happiness. Get rich, have horses, autos, beautiful things in the house, servants, go where you please and when you please, this is happiness. The rich man knows it is not, and so does the wise man.
