"It's just the place, and say, Beth, we'll catch some fish, first. Here are lines and bait."
They thereupon went to fishing, and both caught a number of fish.
"Now," said Harvey, "it's time to go ashore and cook them."
"Oh, I'm so terribly hungry I can't wait. I didn't have any breakfast."
"Why, you poor child. Why didn't you say so before?"
"I didn't think of it. I was having such a good time."
"I couldn't forget that I hadn't had breakfast. How did it happen?"
Beth hung her head. She was thinking of her choleric spouse, and she had hard work forcing the tears back.
"How did it happen, Beth?"
"Why—it just happened. That's all. I'm dreadfully hungry, Harvey."
