further down the same road.
it is raining.
another vehicle, a 1930 packard roadster approaches from the opposite direction.
richardson oibinson is driving.
arlene sits beside him, with a grim expression on her face.
cousin waldo and marlowe, the butler, sit in the back, marlowe behind richardson, and waldo behind arlene.
waldo finally opens his mouth.
i tell you i saw something, he announces plaintively.
none of the other three replies.
they drive on.
the wind and rain pick up.
a slight figure appears by the roadside.
to the consternation of aunt arlene and waldo, richardson stops the car.
marlowe chuckles softly.
that is her! waldo cries. that is her! the one i saw in the tree!
that is she, waldo, arlene corrects him. learn to speak proper english, please.
open the door, waldo, richardson says, and ask her if she wants a lift.
but she will bring bad luck! waldo exclaims.
and be soaking wet , arlene adds tartly.
open the door, waldo, richardson repeats., and ask her if she wants a lift.
waldo has trouble opening the passenger door, but finally manages to get it open.
wind and rain blow into the car.
