Ethel Hollister's Second Summer as a Campfire Girl
Benson, Irene Elliott
Camp Fire Girls -- Juvenile fiction
So Archibald Hollister found himself the New York manager of a large
Ohio Realty Company, with four clerks under him and a couple of handsome
offices; and Mr. Casey was proud of his personal appearance, for
Archibald was a handsome man. One of the clerks was the young fellow
who on Christmas eve had played Money Musk for them to dance the
Virginia Reel, and whose mother received on the following morning the
Christmas basket from Mr. Casey.
"Now yere where ye belong," said the kind-hearted man. "I tell ye, Mr.
Hollister, an honest employee should have been appreciated, and ye were
not."
The family moved from the house and took a pretty apartment overlooking
the Park. They were delighted with the change and every day Ethel took
long walks around the reservoir.
Mr. Casey began to renovate the interior of the house and modernize the
outside.
The family lived in the limousine, and everyone seemed happy. Aunt Susan
did not go home with Tom but stayed on until the family were settled in
their new house. Then Tom who only wished for an excuse came on East for
her. It was nearly Easter. They persuaded him to stay over, which he
did.
And so here we shall leave them. After one more year there will be a
double wedding, and Ethel and Nora will marry. We see Harvey making rapid
strides in his profession, and Tom building a pretty home for his Ethel,
while Aunt Susan will be busy embroidering towels, napkins, etc., for
their linen chest; and not only for them, but for Nora as well, for was
it not through Nora and Mr. Casey that much of their happiness came?
