You needn't call him by it. I didn't give it him. He'll go well enough without it. Give the boy a whip, Jack. Diamond learned to drive all the sooner that he had been accustomed to do what he was told, and could obey the smallest hint in a moment.
Nothing helps one to get on like that.
It was getting dusky now. A cab was approaching rather rapidly from the opposite direction, and Diamond pulling aside, and the other driver pulling up, they only just escaped a collision. Then they knew each other. Not a bit. He's a brave fellow, and'll be fit to drive on his own hook in a week or two.
