THE PENNANT

CHAPTER I
ON SIX TOWN POND

“Have you tried the fishing this summer?”

“No; I’ve been too busy on the farm. This is the first day I have had when I could get away.”

“It looks like rain. Is that the reason why you’ve dropped the shovel and the hoe?”

“Partly. It’s more though, for the two dollars a day you’ve agreed to pay me for rowing you over the pond. I can’t pick that up on the farm, you know.”
