He had never run it all by himself before,\u003cbr\u003ealthough many times he had driven it when either his father or Havens\u003cbr\u003ehad been at his elbow. It had gone all right then. What reason had he to\u003cbr\u003esuppose a mishap would befall him when they were not by? It was\u003cbr\u003einfernally hard luck!","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082681336048,"sku":"2940013313668","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013313668_p0.jpg?v=1763579746","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013313668","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
