I guess the first big thing is to currycomb the
whole place, and fix it as it should be to be most convenient for us. Then
we better take a course of training in making up our minds to be
_satisfied_ with what we can afford. Junior, does home look better to you
than it did this time last week?"
"Father," began Junior, and sobbed aloud.
"The answer is sufficient," said Peter dryly. "Never mind son! When, with
our heads put together, we get our buildings and land fixed right, I
suggest that we also fix our clothes and our belongings right. I can't see
any reason why a woman as lovely as Ma, should be told from any other
pretty woman, by her walk or dress. I don't know why a man as well set up
as I am, shouldn't wear his clothes as easy as the men at the club house.
I can't see why we shouldn't be at that same club house for a meal once in
a while, just to keep us satisfied with home cooking, and that game looks
interesting. Next trip to Multiopolis I make, I'm going to get saddles for
Junior and Mickey and teach them what I know about how to sit and handle a
horse properly; and it needn't be a plow horse either.
