Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

"I am out in search of amusement, and I'm
finding it. I think I'm perhaps a mile from our home for the summer."
"You amaze me!" cried Mr. Minturn. "I saw Douglas this morning, and told
him where I was coming, but he never said a word."
"He didn't know one to say on this subject," explained Leslie. "You see I
rented a cabin over at Atwater and had my plans made before I told even
father what a delightful thing was in store for him."
"But how did it happen?"
"Through my seeing how desperately busy Daddy and Douglas have been all
spring, Daddy especially," replied Leslie. "Douglas is bad enough, but
father's just obsessed, so much so that I think he's carrying double."
"I know he is," said Mr. Minturn. "And so you made a plan to allow him to
proceed with his work all day and then have the delightful ride, fishing
and swimming in Atwater morning and evening. How wonderful! And of course
Douglas will be there also?"
"Of course," agreed Leslie. "At least he shall have an invitation. I'm
going to surprise him with it this very evening.
