"Behold!" George Amberson exclaimed. "She does move! It must be
another accident."
"Accident?" Morgan shouted over the din. "No! She breathes, she
stirs; she seems to feel a thrill of life along her keel!" And he
began to sing "The Star Spangled Banner."
Amberson joined him lustily, and sang on when Morgan stopped. The

conversation with the inventor: it seemed curious to him that this
Morgan, of whom he had never heard until last night, should be using
the name "Isabel" so easily; and George felt that it was not just the
thing for his mother to call Morgan "Eugene;" the resentment of the
previous night came upon George again. Meanwhile, his mother and
Morgan continued their talk; but he could no longer hear what they
said; the noise of the car and his uncle's songful mood prevented.
