"But where in the name of good sense are you going to keep
it?" he inquired, in a wild tone.
"I have been thinking about that," I said. "I may have to
buy a portible Garage and have it set up somwhere."
"Look here," he said, "you give me a little time on this,
will you? I'm not naturaly a quick thinker, and somhow my brain
won't take it all in just yet. I suppose there's no use telling
you not to worry, because you are not the worrying kind."
How little he knew of me, after years of calls and
conversation!
Just before he left he said: "Bab, just a word of advise
for you. Pick your Husband, when the time comes, with care. He
ought to have the solidaty of an elephant and the mental agilaty
of a flee. But no imagination, or he'll die a lunatic."
The next day he telephoned and said that he had found a
place for the car in the country, a shed on the Adams' place,
which was emty, as the Adams's were at Lakewood. So that was
fixed.
Now my plan about the car was this: Not to go on
indefanitely decieving my parents, but to learn to drive the car
as an expert.
