Ed jumped into his car, which he had quickly cranked up, and called
a general farewell.

"So long," answered Jack.

"Come on," called Walter, as Ed's car puffed out of sight. "We'll
have a load to pull now, Cora."

"Perhaps I had better get in with Jack and Bess," remarked Belle.
"We can manage it--if we squeeze some."

Then she blushed, and everybody laughed.

"The more the merrier," replied Jack. "I think it will be a good
idea, though. We'll get home quicker than Cora and her tow will."

Belle climbed into the Get There. This left Cora alone with Walter
in the big car. Ida and Sid stood on the ground, apparently waiting
for an invitation to get in somewhere.

"I'll have to steer my car," said Sid. "You had better get in
Cora's machine, Ida, for it's no fun riding in a towed auto."

"Yes, do come in here," said Cora quickly, but Ida hung back and
looked miserably unhappy.

"Come on," and Walter added his invitation. "I'm going to be the
'shuffler,' and I may as well have something worth while to
'shuffle' while I'm at it."
