the steep hill and past his house
on the way somewhere.

bike past his house and up the
steep hill on her way home.

elderly person has the strength
to get up that steep hill, at any

and mentioned her and her
admirable feat to his comp-
anion who looked up at the
cyclist and said, “Oh, didn’t
you see the auxiliary, electric
motor?”
