“I think he means he is going to marry Mrs. l’Estrange,” answered Billie. “He has brought a big osteopath down here to see her and something’s being put to rights in her spine. She’s expected to get perfectly well, Virginia told me.”
“But how did we bring anything about?”
“I can’t say, unless it was the Comet, bless him, that got us to the burning house in time to save her life.”
The red car was waiting for them when they reached the hotel, and Miss Campbell, also, on the piazza, her peach-blossom face framed in the familiar motor veil of sky blue.
Presently they rolled swiftly away toward the home of their good friends, the Duffys, and in the memories of all who saw them start on that bright morning, there was left no happier impression of Florida’s holiday glory than the light in the faces of the four Motor Maids.
If the girls themselves could have seen, stretching far into the future, the road of experience and adventure over which the Comet was to take them, their faces would have been aglow with anticipation as well as with present pleasure. For the way that they were next to travel is one that each and all should know, and even if you can go in no other party, we are sure that you will enjoy following “The Motor Maids Across the Continent,” in the story of their next trip.
