Excerpt: ... millionaire financier, and surgeon Mantler, and we shall have a miniature world of our own in our traveling mates. Schuyler, you haven''t told me yet what part that lad Melvin is to play in this ''world.'' Why did you ask him? To test him, Lu, nothing else. His mother is Pg 134 anxious he should make a man of himself and isn''t sure how best he can. She permitted him to take a bugler''s place on the ''Prince'' because he wanted to try a sea-faring life. Two seasons of it, even under the comfortable conditions of a passenger steamship, has sickened him of that. He fancied he could be a musician and has talent sufficient only to ''bugle.'' Now he wants to see the world, though he didn''t dream I was to offer him a chance. She thinks he would make a good lawyer, and so his uncle Ephraim thinks. Her pastor thinks he ought to be a minister; and the only point upon which all his friends and himself agree is that he should not spend all his days in ''Ya''mouth.'' I''m going to take him to camp with me, to act as handy-man for all of us. That will give me a chance to see what stuff he''s made of; and if he''s worth it Evelyn Raymond, Books, Travel, Dorothy's Travels Books>Travel The book has no illustrations or index.
