Believe me, there's somethin' comin' off here between now an' summer, an' I'm goin' to ask for the detail!" Murchison laughed. "Come on back, Downey, and you'll see the fun. An' I ain't so sure you won't be needed in your official capacity. But don't bother your head over Sven Larson. Remember this: it takes a smart man to play the fool, an' play it right. That's why John McNabb sent him up here.
Indeed, according to Perry Larson, if there were a hard way to do a thing, Simeon Holly found it and did it. The fact that, this morning, he had allowed, and was still allowing, the sacred routine of the day's work to be thus interrupted, for nothing more important than the expected arrival of a strolling urchin, was something Larson would not have believed had he not seen it.
With him is Lieutenant McBride, and my companion is Lieutenant Larson. I presume you expected us?" "Oh, yes," said Colonel Masterly, as he shook hands with the visitors. "I'm sure we are all glad to see you." Dick and his chums looked on with interest. The army aviators seemed efficient and pleasant men that is all but one.
He asked Perry Larson what it was like; but Perry only shrugged his shoulders and said, to nobody, apparently: "Sugar! Won't ye hear that, now?" which to David was certainly no answer at all. That one must be spick and span to go to church, David soon found out never before had he been so scrubbed and brushed and combed.
John was found to be big, strong, and bronzed with the outdoor life of many a sketching trip a son to be proud of, and to be leaned upon in one's old age. Mrs. John, according to Perry Larson, was "the slickest little woman goin'." According to John's mother, she was an almost unbelievable incarnation of a long-dreamed-of, long-despaired-of daughter sweet, lovable, and charmingly beautiful.
But the fun of the position was that Axel Larson was one of my Cinderella's 'children, so I could not resist introducing him formally to 'Fröken Jensen. His happy air of expectation was replaced by a scowl of surprise and disgust. "'What, thou, Ingeborg! he cried. "I could have knocked the man down.
That night a telegram was sent to Uncle Matt, and, late the following day, came the reply: "Sure! Will take Jack gladly. Expect me Saturday. Be ready to start Tuesday. When Matt Larson arrived he was not at all what Jack expected he would be. In the first place, he was not like one's uncle.
"I try to but they have all left me lately. Would you work with colored people?" "You bane meaning blacks? I do not love them but if you try me you find I do twice three time as much work as blacks." "And your name?" "Miss Josie Larson!" "All right, Miss Josie Larson, suppose you come in the morning and go to work." "I bane come tomorrow night and cuke the dinner.
His canoe is ours for weeks ahead. He knows what I know. You may trust him with everything. Shake hands." But the two boys were already shaking hands, friends at once because of their friendship for Matt Larson. Then came the packing of duffle and dunnage bags into the narrow bark canoe beached on the river bank, fifty yards away.
He did not give up his idea, however, not even when Larson raised his original estimate to five thousand dollars. "Petrified polecats!" cried Uncle Ezra. "You'll bankrupt me, man!" "Oh, no," answered Larson, with a winning smile. "This is getting off cheap. I want to increase the size of my mercury stabilizer to render the airship more safe for you when you go after that twenty thousand dollars."
