"Certainly," the manager beamed, steering her gently toward the inner office. "Just step inside and we'll fill out the necessary papers."
Almost before she was fully aware of what she was doing, Susan had written a check in payment for the car and had signed the usual legal papers.
"Do you think I've made an awful mistake?" she asked Penny nervously while they sat waiting for the car to be serviced.
"It's a beautiful model, Susan. And if it operates even half as well as Mr. Brunner claimed, it should be a wonderful bargain."
"You didn't like that man very well, did you?"
"No," Penny responded shortly.
"The Brunner garage is supposed to be one of the best in Belton City."
"I know it is. I haven't a thing against Mr. Brunner except that I don't care for his manners."
The discussion ended for the manager had returned to announce that the new car was ready to leave the garage.
"I am sure you will find it perfectly satisfactory, Miss Altman," he beamed. "But in the event that anything should go wrong don't hesitate to call upon us."
