Chapter II.
So the great day arrived, and Bill Buddle and his wife set off on their grand free motor tour with Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Skidman.
Seeing that the Skidman's were providing free motor transport for the tour, Bill reckoned it was only a fair thing that he should pay for the luncheons and other incidentals along the way.
In fact, when it came to the settling up for teas, dinners, suppers, lunches, launches, and entertainments, Bill Buddle displayed such a rare talent for generosity, that Mr. Joshua Skidman was content to sit at the wheel and do all the “pulling in” while Bill stood at the cash window and did all the “paying out.”

At one stage of the journey, when a mishap to the car necessitated some repairs Bill offered to pay, but Mr. Skidman firmly protested.
When Mr. Skidman pulled out of the garage, however, and left Bill to pay the account, Bill was smitten with the terrible suspicion that, in spite of Mr. Skidman's protestations, his offer to pay for the repairs had been duly accepted.
