Chapter 8 THERE'S THE LIGHT-HOUSE!
Once they were out on the main road, Tinker began to talk to the driver, asking him questions aboutall kinds of cars. The others listened, amused.
'Well, I don't think much of the new cars,' said Tinker. 'All gadgets1!'
'Some of the new gadgets are very good,' said the driver, amused with the cocky little boy, and hetouched a little lever beside him. At once the window next to Tinker went down smoothly2, with acurious low moan. Tinker was extremely startled.
'Oh, don't open that window,' said Anne, as a rough wind swooped3 in. 'For goodness' sake shut it,Tinker.'
Tinker shut it and began to talk about cars again. Once more the driver touched the lever beside him,and once more Tinker's window slid mournfully down, and a cold draught4 came in.
'TINKER! Don't mess about with the windows,' ordered Julian.
'I never touched the thing,' said Tinker, eyeing the window with suspicion. It suddenly shut itself,sliding upwards5 very smoothly. Tinker began to feel uncomfortable. He watched the window closely,afraid that it might play tricks again. The others, knowing perfectly6 well that the driver could openand shut any of the windows automatically from his own seat, nudged one another, and giggled7. 'Thatshut up poor old Tinker!' murmured Dick.
It had. Not another word about new cars or old came from Tinker during the whole drive! It was avery pleasant one, mostly round the coast, and very little inland. The views were magnificent.
'That dog of yours seems to like the views,' said the driver. 'His head has been out of the window allthe time.'
'Well - I always thought it was because he liked the fresh air,' said George. 'Timmy, is it because youenjoy the views?'

'Woof,' said Timmy, and withdrew his head to give George a lick. He also gave the little monkey alick. Poor Mischief
