Beating against his numbed brain was his
will's sledge-hammer demands for speed, and he obeyed recklessly. ...
Roadside objects flicked by, mile after mile was dropped behind, the
city's outskirts were being snatched closer and closer--and then he
saw the other car far ahead. All that remained to be asked of his car

a demand. Dulac's car veered to the side to let him pass, and he
lurched by, only turning a brief, wavering glance upon the other
machine to assure himself that Ruth was there. He saw her in a
flashing second, in the tonneau, with Dulac by her side. ... She was
safe, uninjured. Then Bonbright left them behind.
The road narrowed, with deep ditches on either hand. Here was the
place he sought. He set his brakes, shut off his power, and swung his
car diagonally across the way, so that it would be impossible for
Dulac to pass.
