"I guess so," agreed Tom. "Well, come out here and try your hand at it."
"What do you mean?" Ned wanted to know.
"I want you to drive for a while. You've driven lots of cars, and I want you to get the feel of this. It seems a trifle stiff to me, and I want to see if you get the same impression. I can loosen the gear up a bit if it is."
"You mean you want me to drive your House on Wheels?" asked Ned.
"Sure! Why not?"
"I may wreck her."
"So might I. Accidents are always likely to happen. But I've got to get some other impression than my own as to how she holds the road, takes corners, and the like, and you're the best one I know to give me the information I need. Besides, you'll be coming on trips with me, and I can't always be at the wheel."
"Me come on a trip with you in this?" chuckled Ned. "Well, I like that!"
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't you come?"
"On yours and Mary's honeymoon trip? Excuse me!"
