She felt elated that she had so planned her summer as to spend it with her
father, while of course it was going to be delightful to have her lover
with her. So going she came to a most attractive lane that led from the
road between tilled fields, back to a wood on one side, and open pasture
on the other. Faintly she heard the shouts of children, and yielding to
sudden impulse she turned and followed the grassy path. A few more steps,
then she stopped in surprise. An automobile was standing on the bank of a
brook. On an Indian blanket under a tree sat a woman of fine appearance
holding a book, but watching with smiling face the line of the water,
which spread in a wide pool above a rudely constructed dam, overflowing it
in a small waterfall.
On either bank lay one of the Minturn boys, muddy and damp, trying with
his hands to catch something in the water. Below the dam, in a blue
balbriggan bathing suit, stood James Minturn, his hands filled with a big
piece of sod which he bent and applied to a leak.
