In 【10】. his loving and energetic wife believed immensely in his abilities, and was more than certain that, the fruit was ripe enough to be picked. Her plan was to make a long-distance journey in her husband’s invention, which would persuade everyone of the benefits and reliability of the new "horseless carriage".
