"Never in my life have I been so happy as I am this moment," said Leslie,
skifting the clear water with her hands while she waited for her father

"Go on and tell, 'Bearer of Morning,'" he said. "I am so delighted I'm
maudlin."
"Right over there, on the road to the club house, while 'seeking new
worlds to conquer' this afternoon, I ran into James Minturn wearing a
bathing suit, to his knees in mud and water, building a sod dam for his
boys."
"You did?" cried Douglas.
"I did!" said Leslie. "Here's the picture: a beautiful winding stream, big
trees like these on the banks, shade and flowers, birds, and air a-plenty,
a fine appearing woman he introduced as his sister, a Minturn boy catching
fish with his bare hands on either bank, the brother Minturn must have
adopted legally, since he gave him his name----"
"He did," interrupted Douglas. "He told me so----"
"I was sure of it," said Leslie.
