The saving comes in on living expenses. Out
there we have the cow, flour, fish, and poultry from the neighbours, fresh
eggs, butter and the garden--I can cut expenses to one-fourth; lights
altogether. Moonshine and candles will serve; cooking fuel, gasoline.
Daddy will you go to-night and see?"
"No, I won't go to-night and see, I'll go swim and fish," said Mr. Winton.
"Great Heavens, Leslie, do you really mean to live all _summer_ beside a
lake, where a man can expand, absorb and exercise? I must get out my
fishing tackle. I wonder what Douglas has! I've tried that lake when bass
were slashing around wild thorn and crab trees shedding petals and bugs.
It is man's sport there! I like black bass fishing. I remember that water.
Fine for swimming! Not the exhilaration of salt, perhaps, but grand,
clean, old northern Indiana water, cooled by springs. I love it! Lord,
Leslie! Why don't we _own_ that place? Why haven't we homed there, and
been comfortable for years?"
"I shall go ahead then?" queried Leslie.
