they managed to get away from the
scene without anyone being the
wiser as to who they were. Later on
the car was called for and taken
away, but everyone maintained an
air of secrecy, no information being
vouchsafed that would throw light
on the affair. 1t was not even posi-
BILE to find out what garage, II any
