Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
Robert then confided to Mr. Kennelworth that he was very anxious to
go to New York just as soon as possible. He had been reading about
the contemplated flights of the airplanes from New York across the
Atlantic, and he wanted to be in New York by his birthday in June,
1927, because he figured by that time the airplanes would have crossed
the Atlantic and there would be great excitement in New York.
He wished to be there and get all the information he could about
airplanes, because he wanted to start building his own just as soon
as he had money enough and felt that he could do so. He asked Mr.
Kennelworth what he thought about him resigning in a short time to go
to New York. Mr. Kennelworth told him that he would regret very much
to lose his services, but that he had great faith in Robert's study
of the Bible and what he thought he could do, and that if he wanted
to do so, he would let him go and not only that, but would aid him
financially. Robert confided his hope and desire to take Marie with
him. Mr. Kennelworth didn't exactly agree with this but told him that
this was a problem he would have to solve for himself; that if Marie
had faith enough in him to take the step, he was sure it would work out
all right; and that he could always have his old position back any time
that he wanted to return, and could have any help that he could render
him in New York.
After his conference with Mr. Kennelworth, Robert wired Marie as
follows:
EXPECT TO BE WITH YOU SUNDAY WILL COME OVER ON AFTERNOON TRAIN TODAY.
Robert arrived in Sherman, Texas, Saturday evening, and Marie met
him at the train. She was overjoyed at Robert's success. They spent
Saturday evening and Sunday together. It seemed to them the happiest
days of their lives. Robert talked over his plans and Marie was
enthusiastic about his future. He told her that if the market worked
as he expected, he intended to trade in wheat and corn in the near
future; that he hoped to go to New York by the early part of June, as
he was very enthusiastic about the air flights from New York across the
Atlantic to Paris, and get started on his studies and invention. Marie
was willing to give him all the money she had made to help him out but
he told her that the one thing he wanted was her and her love, and that
he wanted her to go with him to New York.
