    He hailed a cab and fell into the back seat
    “Say, driver”. he ordered, “Drive me round the square a hundred times”.
    The driver was startled, but obliged just the same. Round and round the square they went, and on the sixty-fifth trip the passenger leaned forward and shouted with a hiccough
    “Step on it driver”,
    I’m in a hurry”
