I said, “I just wondered.”
“I’ve got to get off the road. They’ll have a rest-room here,” she said.
I turned the car into the auto court.
“Go find where the women’s rest-room is,” she said.
I went into the office. The woman who ran the place looked me over with a cold, fishy eye and told me they didn’t have rest-rooms. They had baths in the cabins. She had a single. Did I want that?
“I’ll go and find out,” I told her.
Her eyes were contemptuous.
I went back to the car and said, “No rest-rooms, honey. All the bathrooms are in the cottages. They have one cottage left.”
“Okay,” she said, heaving herself up out of the car. “Take me into the cottage.”
I went back and registered as Mr. and Mrs. Dover Fulton. I gave the address as 6285 Orange Avenue, San Robles, and put down the licence number of the car — 45S531.
