As the machine slipped over the hilltop hiding the dam from sight, Bob turned his eyes to the front. He was riding into the future, happy and content. “I will remember,” said Uncle Isaac. “I am to hold it sideways and just get the general view when I look at it.” A long time Johnny lay there and all the while the sound of talk and laughter floated up to him, so he knew that the picnic party must still be on the wharf.
