Margery Marshall and Elviry went to Atlantic City and Newport this summer. John Levine was sure to take supper at the cottage once or twice a week, but he was very busy with his political work and with the enormous sales of mixed-breed lands to the whites. It was just before college opened that Amos announced that he was going to buy the one hundred and twenty acres John had set aside for him.
