[edit] Synopsis
Finally, Mainwairing has his own staff car. Pike, still heady from his rasberryade binge, borrows it to drive his new girlfriend to the cinema in Eastgate. On the way back, however, and nine miles from Walmington, it runs out of petrol. It takes Pike all night to push it back. It's time for Wilson to have a serious word with the boy.
