[Five Thousand an Hour by George Randolph Chester]@TWC D-Link bookFive Thousand an Hour CHAPTER XXIV 2/9
In the tonneau sat a more slender young lady all in gray, except for the brown of her eyes and the pink of her cheeks and the red of her lips. Johnny's Baltimore straw hat came off with a jerk. "Out after the breakfast rolls ?" he demanded as he shook hands with them quite gladly. "No, indeed; hunting a job," responded Polly.
"This machine and the services of its chauffeur and messenger girl are for rent to you only, for the day, at the price of a nice party when you get that million.
We have to be in on the excitement." "Hotel Midas," Johnny crisply directed, and jumped into the tonneau, whereupon the chauffeur touched one finger to her bonnet, and the machine leaped forward. "You're lazy," chided Constance.
"We've been waiting twenty minutes.
We were afraid you might be gone, but they told us that you had not yet come down." "If I'd known you were coming I'd have been at the curb before daybreak," grinned Johnny.
