"I'll check the car over and have it ready in half an hour."
"Let's wait," Susan proposed.
They found chairs nearby. In fifteen minutes, the same employee returned to report that the car was ready.
"So soon?" Susan said in surprise. "Why, I'm sure you couldn't have checked over everything in such a short while."
"The car will start now. If you want a general overhaul you'll have to pay for it."
"But Mr. Brunner promised me when I bought the automobile that if anything went wrong he'd make it right!" Susan protested indignantly. "I've driven the car less than five hundred miles and it's almost falling apart! May I see Mr. Brunner?"
"He's in his office," the man informed reluctantly.
"And where is that?"
"Down the hall. The second door from the end."
Crossing through the deserted repair shop, the girls made their way down the dark hallway. The door which the employee had indicated stood slightly ajar.
