You might curl down and take a nap." It was not an order, but Johnny felt that he was expected to keep himself out of sight, and the suggestion to nap appealed to him.

He found a robe and covered himself, and went to sleep with the readiness of a cat curled behind a warm stove.

He did not know how long it was before Cliff woke him by pulling upon the car door.

He did not remember that the garage man had fussed much with the car, though he might have done it so quietly that Johnny would not hear him.

The man was standing just outside the door, and presently he signalled to Cliff, and Cliff backed out into the empty street.
