“And if he had, you wouldn’t have seen that wink,” observed his brother, with a nervous gasp. “Say! that was mean!”
“Of course, they didn’t have to stop.”
“No. But it wouldn’t have hurt Mr. Briggs to pull down for a moment.”
“He never even looked at us.”
“No. He sat in there beside Henri, ready to help him take the curves. I never thought he’d be so mean,” complained Billy.
“Here’s another!” exclaimed his brother.
They turned to see a second automobile come around the bend in the road. It was not going so fast. It was numbered thirty-seven.
Before it reached the Speedwells it slowed down and the man at the wheel demanded:
“Did you see that maroon car just now?”
“Of course!” exclaimed Dan and Billy together.
