(17)D I could say no,they got up,paid their bill,and were outside on their motorcycles,gesturing (打手势),"(18)C us!"
We started to follow them down the dark and quiet country roads.

About an hour later,after (26)Athrough endless back roads deep in the woods,they gestured to us to go left.
We looked up,and there was the (27)D for Merridale Road.They had put us on the right road after all.And then they (28)Cgood-bye and disappeared from view.
