Miss Dahlgren said, "I simply couldn't take a dare from Mr. Turnure, particularly as I have driven my little yellow roadster at better than sixty miles an hour many times. If It is safe for a man to run a motorcycle at a faster clip than that, a girl ought to be able to go him one better with a powerful engine and four wheels. Mamma doesn't want me to take any risks, but dear mamma doesn't know that it is perfectly safe to drive a car fast when you know the roads perfectly. All the village constables for miles around are watching us to prevent the race, but It will be over before they get through shining up their badges."

Sounds like an early Jalop to me.

I'm guessing the Village Constable ate some dust that day.
