“Yes, I can come. Shall I bring Clarence, too?” Going home from school one Friday afternoon, Moses heard sniggering half-suppressed comments behind him.

It reached his ears that one aesthetic youth was dazzled by the kaleidoscopic effect of his checked trousers; in other words, it made him sea-sick. Moses quickened his pace slightly, but his face looked like an advance notice of calamity.

“Do you know how ice cream is made, May Nell?” Jimmy asked to break the oppression. “I can walk,” she said, struggling to be put down. “Lady of the Lake?” she finished quickly in a question. “Do you know that, too?

But gratitude for Jimmy’s bravery and May Nell’s safety supplanted even in the youngest heart all regret for the boat..
