John Ruggles liked anything which moved quickly on wheels. He knew the make of almost every car on the roads and most of his free time he spent hanging around garages and filling stations. We also went to the large Car Park where drivers sometimes gave interesting information on the different cars in the park. The Car Park was a very interesting place and when the day of adventure came, John had no difficulty to decide where to begin. It was early when he arrived. There were no tourists about, no cars at all except one in which sat a large dog which showed such fine teeth as John came near that he retreated quickly to a seat under the Castle walls. From time to time he looked at the sky. He hoped it wasn’t going to rain. The clock of the church struck ten and a few cars began to arrive. Soon a large car came in. John put both his hands into his pockets and stood looking at the car at a distance. A tall young man followed by a lady got out. John heard the young man calling him. He ran up to the man and the man gave him a coin and asked him to look after the car.

Перевод: Джон Рагглз любил всё, что быстро двигалось на колёсах. Он знал марки почти всех автомобилей на дорогах и большую часть свободного времени проводил, слоняясь возле гаражей и автозаправок. Мы тоже ходили на большую автомобильную стоянку, где водители иногда рассказывали интересные сведения о разных машинах на стоянке. Автостоянка была очень интересным местом, и когда наступал день приключений, Джону было нетрудно решить, с чего начать. Когда он приехал, было рано. Туристов не было, машин тоже не было — за исключением одной, в которой сидела большая собака. Когда Джон подошёл поближе, она показала такие внушительные зубы, что он быстро отступил к скамейке под стенами замка. Время от времени он смотрел на небо. Он надеялся, что дождя не будет. Церковные часы пробили десять, и стали прибывать первые машины. Вскоре подъехал большой автомобиль. Джон сунул обе руки в карманы и стал издали разглядывать машину. Из неё вышел высокий молодой человек, за которым следовала женщина. Джон услышал, как молодой человек позвал его. Он подбежал к мужчине, и тот дал ему монету и попросил присмотреть за машиной.
