Q: CHAPTER XX 

A MOMENT OF PERIL 

"This is the life!" 

"That's right, Tom. This kind of touring suits me to death," returned Sam Rover. 

"Tom, how many miles an hour are you making?" broke in his wife. "Remember what you promised me--that you would keep within the limit of the law." 

"And that is just what I am doing, Nellie," he answered. "But it's mighty hard to do it, believe me, when you are at the wheel of such a fine auto as this. Why, I could send her ahead twice as fast if I wanted to!" 

"Don't you dare!" burst out Grace, who sat in the tonneau beside her sister. "If you do I'll make you let Sam drive." 

"He's got to let me drive anyway after dinner," said the youngest Rover boy. "That's the arrangement." 

It was the second day of the tour, and Valley Brook Farm, and in fact the whole central portion of New York State, had been left far behind. The weather had turned out perfect, and so far they had encountered very little in the way of bad roads. Once they had had to make a detour of two miles on account of a new bridge being built, but otherwise they had forged straight ahead. 

Tom and his wife, with Grace and Sam, occupied the first automobile, the remaining space in the roomy tonneau being taken up by various suitcases and other baggage. Behind this car came the one driven by Dick Rover. Beside him was his wife, with Mrs. Stanhope and Mrs. Laning behind them. Some distance to the rear was the third machine, a brand-new runabout, containing Chester Waltham and his sister Ada. Waltham had at first wished to take the lead, but had then dropped behind, stating he did not wish to get the others to follow him on any wrong road. 

Answer the following questions:
1. Who was driving?
2. How many people was he with?
3. Did he make any promises?
4. What was it?
5. Who did he promise that to?
6. Did he keep it?

Q: CHAPTER XXXII 

"You are very smart, Ernestine," he said, looking her admiringly. 

"One must be smart at Ascot," she answered, "or stay away." 

"I've just heard some news," he continued. 

"Yes?" 

"Who do you think is here?" 

She glanced at him sideways under her lace parasol. "Every one I should think." 

"Including," he said, "Mr. Scarlett Trent!" She grew a shade paler, and leaned for a moment against the rail of the paddock in which they were lounging. 

"I thought," she said, "that the Mazetta Castle was not due till to-day." 

"She touched at Plymouth in the night, and he had a special train up. He has some horses running, you know." 

"I suppose," she remarked, "that he is more of a celebrity than ever now!" 

"Much more," he answered. "If he chooses he will be the lion of the season! By the by, you had nothing of interest from Fred?" 

She shook her head impatiently. 

"Nothing but praises! According to Fred, he's a hero!" 

"I hate him," Davenant said sulkily. 

"And so," she answered softly, "do I! Do you see him coming, Cecil?" 

"In good company too," the young man laughed bitterly. 

A little group of men, before whom every one fell back respectfully, were strolling through the paddock towards the horses. Amongst them was Royalty, and amongst them also was Scarlett Trent. But when he saw the girl in the white foulard smile at him from the paling he forgot etiquette and everything else. He walked straight across to her with that keen, bright light in his eyes which Fred had described so well in his letter. 

Answer the following questions:
1. was it a big group of men ?
