Jump up." The policeman did as Diamond told him, and was soon satisfied that the little fellow could drive.
"Well," he said, as he got down again, "I don't know as I should be right to interfere.

Good luck to you, my little man!" "Thank you, sir," said Diamond, and drove away.
In a few minutes a gentleman hailed him.
"Are you the driver of this cab ?" he asked.
"Yes, sir" said Diamond, showing his badge, of which, he was proud.
"You're the youngest cabman I ever saw.

How am I to know you won't break all my bones ?" "I would rather break all my own," said Diamond.

"But if you're afraid, never mind me; I shall soon get another fare." "I'll risk it," said the gentleman; and, opening the door himself, he jumped in.
He was going a good distance, and soon found that Diamond got him over the ground well.

Now when Diamond had only to go straight ahead, and had not to mind so much what he was about, his thoughts always turned to the riddle Mr.Raymond had set him; and this gentleman looked so clever that he fancied he must be able to read it for him.
