CHAPTER XXIII
MR. CONNORS MAKES AN OFFER
The next morning, however, when Willard found a note from Mr. Connors in the mail he wasn’t so sure that luck was with them. He hurried over to Tom’s and got there just as The Ark was being backed from the garage. Tom took the note and read it aloud:
“Dear Sir:
“I find that we have never had a settlement for damage done to my heavy express wagon in collision with your automobile. The amount paid out by me in the way of repairs was slight and if you will kindly call at my office soon the matter can be quickly adjusted.
“Respectfully,
“WILLIAM CONNORS.
“per W. L.”
“Well, of all the cheek!” sputtered Tom indignantly.
“Somehow,” said Willard, “I don’t believe he wants to see us about those damages.”
