Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

They were really
interested in what they were doing, they really worked, also soon they
were really tired, they were really hungry. With imperative voice they
demanded food.
"You forget what your father told you at breakfast," said Mr. Tower. "He
knew you were coming to the country where you couldn't get food. William
and I are not hungry. We want to catch these little fish, and see who can
get the most. We think it's fun. We can't take the car back until your
father said to come."
"You take us back right now, and order meat, and cake, and salad and ice
cream, lots of it!" stormed James.
"I have to obey your father!" said Mr. Tower.
"I just hate fathers!" cried James.
"I'll wager you do!" conceded Mr. Tower.
James stared open mouthed.
"I can see how you feel," said Mr. Tower companionably. "When a fellow has
been coddled by nurses all his life, has no muscle, no appetite except for
the things he shouldn't have, and never has done anything but silly park-
playing, it must be a great change to be out with men, and doing as they
do.
