"Sorry, Reed," she told him; "but there's a tea on at the Prathers'. Earlier, I'm taking Dolph Dennison canoeing." "Olive!" Reed's accent was remonstrant. "How can you stand that little duffer?" Olive rose to the defence. "He's not such a duffer. Of course, he's young and callow; but he's good fun." "Yes; but an instructor, and only rhetoric, at that." Reed's voice showed his scorn.
When I was a boy I used to go on long canoeing trips, following our river to its mouth. I don't like the tropics as well as I do the temperate zones." "If you weren't such a tremendous grind you would do it now," Julius offered. "A fellow needs a vacation, now and then, if he's to keep in shape." Waldron glanced at him, smiling. "So he does. But somehow I've managed to keep in shape.
Chamberlin, at Wrentham, out in the country, where they have a lovely home. Their house stands near a charming lake where we went boating and canoeing, which was great fun. We also went in bathing several times. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlin celebrated the 17th of June by giving a picnic to their literary friends. There were about forty persons present, all of whom were writers and publishers.
I am not to use a little modern slang going to "give myself away" on canoeing, or talk of startling adventure. But, for the possible advantage of some future canoeist, I will briefly relate what happened to me on a certain windy morning one summer. It was on one of the larger lakes no matter which between Paul Smith's and the Fulton Chain.
Where the channels are shallow, poles are used, which the men handled very dexterously, nicking in and out amongst the rocks and rapids in the neatest way; but in the main the propulsion was by our paddles, a delight to me, having been bred to canoeing from boyhood.
"I think that's lovely of Julia," said Cleo, "because Grazia dear, we can go canoeing any day, but only sailing when some one asks us. Who did?" "Julia's cousins from Breakentake sailed down the bay early this morning it must have been a very early start. They are going to stay over, and Julia says if the wind is right, we may all go out for the afternoon.
The "hellos" were exchanged before the young men had time to enter the camp. Then Belle asked: "Aren't we going canoeing?" "Guess not to-day," replied Ed, his handsome black hair almost sparkling in the sunshine as he tossed his head in nonchalance. "We are still too cramped up. Had to sleep on the roof last night." "Why?" demanded Cora. "Choosin' that.
I have often wondered what prompted me to ask Miss Trevor again to go canoeing. To do myself justice, it was no wish of mine to meddle with or pry into her affairs. Neither did I flatter myself that my poor company would be any consolation for that she had lost. I shall not try to analyze my motive.
"What's it all about, Jinny? What's that about my canoeing a man down to Bindon?" "Eat, uncle," she said, more softly than she had yet spoken, for his words about her care of him had brought a moisture to her eyes. "I'll be back in a minute and tell you all about it." "Well, it's about took away my appetite," he said. "I feel a kind of sinking."
"Now, drink Mr Bang's health." They, as in duty bound, let fly at our amigo in a volley. "Your health, Mr Bang." Aaron sprung from his seat, and made his salaam, and the Dragonflies bundled out of the cabin again. "I say, Transom, John Canoeing still always some frolic in the wind."
