"The moonlight is too fine to run fast.

Besides, Dora is going to sit in front with him." "I'll make the run in about an hour and a half," said Dick, "and that is fast enough.

"Around the block would mean about fifteen miles extra," said Dora, who knew all about country "blocks." "I don't know the roads, so I'll keep to the one we came on," answered Dick.

"All ready?
Then off we go," he added, and started on low speed, which he soon changed to second and then high.
