(Forgotten Books May 7, 2017)
Excerpt from Camping
The boys are simply starving for ice cream and cake. One plate is only an introduction; with the second one you begin to distinguish the flavor; it really needs a third one to put that sweet icy feeling in your stomach so earnestly de sired by the growing youth. The next day, or maybe next but one, our friend the fruit man calls. All your life you have been told of the value of fruit. Your system at this time craves lots of it. It is very good for you. Oh! Yes, certainly! But it has to be paid for from some of that pocket money. All this and more you tell them, being careful to cross your t's and dot your i's for fear of the 'house's' objections.
Father and mother decide to consult together. You see the moment has ar rived, when you will gain more by say ing less, so you kiss them good-night and stand not upon the order of your going.
