I could physically kick her mother out of bed and make her drive. But I haven't the guts to do this at 4 p.m., let alone 6 a.m. I could let her hitch-hike. But I don't like girls hitch-hiking at 7 a.m. (That is, I don't mind the girls, but the hitch-hiking.)Why, she might be picked up by some renegade and I'd never see her again. (That, on second thought, would solve the problem.) Ah, it's just one of those rotten little problems that will have to sort itself out. Did you ever fall down a mine-shaft?
