As a rule, Cambridge policemen are a pretty moderate set of men, but this particular one is rather too zealous. His business was to keep the sidewalk clear and keep people moving; if he was too lazy to undertake this he might have sent to headquarters for a more efficient officer.

McCammon was "nabbed" by a policeman for riding on the sidewalk and lost several minutes explain his good intentions and giving his name.
