Jerry opened the door but two men ran up，calling out，Cab！Its taken，said Jerry，but one man pushed past the woman and jumped in，followed by the other．This cab is already taken，gentlemen，Jerry said again，by this lady．Lady！said one of the men unpleasantly，looking at the womans poor clothes．She can wait．Our business is very im－portant，and anyway，we were in first，and well stay in．A smile came over Jerrys face as he shut the cab door．Stay in as long as you like， gentlemen．I can wait while you rest yourselves．He walked over to the young woman who was standing nearby．Theyll soon be gone，dont worry，he said， laughing．And he was right．When the two men realized that they were going to have a very long wait，they got out，calling Jerry all kinds of bad names．
