Phil broke out into a roar of laughter.

"Oh, Teddy, what am I going to do with you? Do you know you have done very wrong?"

"No, I don't. The trouble with you is that you don't appreciate a good thing when you get it. You were wishing you could get rid of the opposition cars, weren't you?"

"Yes, but—"

"Well, you're rid of them, aren't you?"

"Yes, but—"

"And I got rid of them for you."

"Yes, but as I was saying—"

"Then what have you got to raise such a row about? You got your wish."

Teddy curled up and began studying the landscape again.
