"You can always talk to your passenger through the speaking-tube," the salesman reminded her.
"Yes, of course——"
"And nobody you take along now-a-days will be as talkative as I always was on our trips together," Louise observed, with a smile.
"Talkative!" repeated Linda, "All you ever wanted to do was sleep! Every time I looked at you on that flight to Canada, you were peacefully dozing!"
"And she still has a bad habit of dropping off," teased Ted.
"So long as that's the only way I 'drop off,' I'm satisfied," concluded Louise.
In spite of their frivolous talk, Linda had been thinking seriously about the autogiro, and had entirely made up her mind about it.
"I'll take it," she announced. "If you surely approve of it, Ted."
"I do, absolutely."
The salesman looked at her in amazement. Never had he made such an easy sale before. But he did not meet people like Linda Carlton every day!
