was followed by a lady in shorts, she
by an old man who tried to draw extra attention to himself by dancing
up instead of walking in a
dignified way. Enoch suddenly darted across the street and slipped
noiselessly into the open back door
of the truck.
The handshaking went on until the feature picture was ready to begin.

and the people filed into the theater. The driver and the man who was
master of ceremonies climbed in
the cab part and the truck rumbled off. It crossed the city rapidly and
continued on the highway, going
very fast.
