Chapter XXXIV
THE MOTOR CAR Raymond Ironsyde felt somewhat impatient of the conference to consider the situation of his son. But since he had no authority and Sabina was anxious to do something, he agreed to consult Mr. Churchouse. They met at 'The Magnolias,' where Miss Ironsyde joined them; but her old energy and forcible opinions had faded. She did little more than listen. Ironsyde came first and spoke to Ernest in a mood somewhat despondent.
