It will be two hours yet before it reaches our dock. It has to zigzag to and fro across the lake. I'm hungry." "So am I. Let me take the paddle." The exchange was made, and he sent the canoe over the water rapidly. Patty eyed him with frank admiration. "Is there anything you can't do well?" "A good many things," he acknowledged.

At seven-thirty the family sat down to a breakfast of fried bass, and Patty told how the catch had been made. "He's a better fisherman than you, John." "Just as you say, Patty.
