Then he said:
"I'll be right over, Mary. Yes, I'll come at once. And tell
your mother not to worry. I'm sure nothing could have happened.
I'll be with you in a jiffy!"
As Tom Swift hung up the receiver he said:
"Mr. Nestor hasn't reached home yet, and as he promised to
return at once in case he didn't find me, his wife is much
worried. I'll go over and see what I can do."
"I'll come along!" volunteered Mr. Damon. "It isn't late yet."
"Yes, do come," urged Tom. "But I suppose when we get there
we'll find our friend has arrived safely. We'll go over in the
electric runabout."
CHAPTER XV
A VAIN SEARCH
Tom Ssift's speedy little electric car was soon at the door in
readiness to take him and Mr. Damon to the Nestor home. The
electric runabout was a machine Tom had evolved in his early
inventive days, and though he had other automobiles, none was
quite so fast or so simple to run as this, which well merited the
name of the most rapid machine on the road. In it Tom had once
won a great race, as has been related in the book bearing the
title, "Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout.
