The Sphinx went forward with the
whirr of a shell. She peeled the road
way behind her like a running tape.
Aimee felt the roar of the wind rise
to scream. Billy leaned lightly for

effortless, efficient
Aimee was only conscious of being
whirled gloriOusly through space, when
the Sphinx, after q two-mile loop, slid
back to the spot whence she had

sunlight had become less vivid and the
sky paler.
Very slowly. Aimee made her way
back to the portals of Scroope Towers.
where the heavy family car, laden
with luggage, stood waiting. Georgina
was on the steps, abundantly wrapped
up. and Lord Scroope stood beside
her.
