It Does If It’s Sable
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?
