Reading H. Beam Piper’s Murder in the Gunroom, the main character was told “If, when you return, there are four cars in the garage, counting the station wagon…”
And I asked myself, why wouldn’t he count the station wagon? They established that it’s functional. Why, they used it just the previous day: they carted someone and his … his, er, luggage, from … from the … train station. Huh. Is that why it’s called that? Because, originally, a station wagon does that?
