The name is Carwein, she said, as she handed Louise her package.
gpt
J. W. Carwein & Co., Importers, New York City.

So our first stop is New York, remarked Louise, as they left the store and went to the garage where they had parked her roadster.
gpt
Of course we fly?
human
Naturally. We haven't time for any slower conveyance. Besides, we may need the Arrow for further investigation.
gpt
O. K. But Linda, have you considered snow and sleet? Remember, so far we have had very little experience in cold weather.
human
I realize all that. But I've been studying conditions about winter flying, you know, and I have a lot of theory. Of course theory isn't practice, as our friend Miss Hulbert would remind us.
gpt
By the way, where is she? She just seems to have dropped out of existence.
human
Probably she has the Club's Moth somewhere, visiting her friends! replied Linda.
gpt
I can't say I miss her. Still, it is funny her brother isn't around. He seemed so devoted to Kitty.
human
Maybe he asked Kitty to marry him, and she refused.
gpt
I don't think so. Kitty was so crazy about him at Thanksgiving.
human
Well, you never can tell. But that isn't going to worry me, said the other, laughing.
gpt
But here is an idea worth taxing your brain with, Linda!
human
Yes.
gpt
I think somebody ought to know just what we're doing, and where we're going, so long as we don't want to give our parents the exact information. It ought to be somebody who could fly to our rescue, if necessary.... I am thinking of Ted Mackay.
human
You really think it's necessary?
gpt
Maybe not necessary, but prudent. Can't you map out our route to New York tonight, and send him a special-delivery letter? Then we can wire him from New York, if we decide to go on to Canada.
human
Yes, that's a fine idea, Lou. Provided, of course, we get Aunt Emily's permission. Daddy leaves Christmas night, and after that I'm under her thumb.
gpt
I'm going to spring it on my family after Christmas dinner, Louise informed her.
human
Everybody's in such a good humor then, that they probably won't refuse. Besides, we needn't mention Canada. Just say a flying trip.
gpt
I guess I'll do the same thing. And by the way, Lou, let's wire Nancy Bancroft. You know she made us promise to stay with her whenever we flew to New York.
human
An excellent plan!
