“Cannot Nature be seen without taking lunch along?” I ask off.
“I have no time to answer statistics,” she dib hashly. “To-morrow
morning by early a. m. we depart away in ottomobile for find some
soft place in Nature to sit on. I wish you prepare lunch of delicious
hard-boiledness to include egg, chicken, more eggs, cake, some eggs,
sandwitches & confused varieties of pie.”
“I obey similar to soldiers,” in voice from me.
“And don’t forget the eggs,” she reproach while eloping away.
That ottomobile of Hon. Horse W. Snow are a 7 passenger car. Therefore
it do not act surprised when 10 persons of sorted sizes gets into it.
Thusly, it look last Satday morning by early a. m. when Hon. Ottomobile
give hoots similar to martyrs about to enjoy break down. Included among
those getting in was Mrs & Mr Horse W. Snow & 2 twins; Mr & Mrs Hamlet
J. Dilk & 2 yrs. old Arthur; Togo & food; Ethel & Albert, lovely young
folks who look at each other with fiancee expression.
Honks by Hon. Otto.
Hon. Horse W. Snow, who was at the wheel pushing gasolene, say, “I have
look forwards to this day for joyful time.”
“We shall have delightful picnic,” renig Mrs Horse W. “Togo, why are
you so unintellectual as to carry pie with its head downwards?”
“This are delightful day to find Nature at home,” say Hon. Horse W.
with happy smiling.
“It are,” derange Hon. Mrs. “Horse, why you insist on wheeling through
so many bumps that my elbows shake loose?”
“Let us go to Buttermilk Falls where moss is there,” snuggest Hon. Dilk.
“Buttermilk Falls are full of disgust,” report Hon. Mrs Dilk.
They would doubtlessly enjoyed some more quarrel, but they were
discontinued by rumpage in their midst where Hons. Ederick & Frederick
was making slaps to Hon. Dilk baby, age 2. Weeps.
Everybody wish go somewhere else. Ethel wish go Lover’s Leap. Albert
require go Altoona Vista. Hon. Mrs Snow demand go Trolley View Park. I
wish go home, but everybody was careless to ask my requirements.
But Hon. Snow, who was driving ottomobile, took us to Morning Glory
Glenn, because nobody wish go there.
Morning Glory Glenn were nice landscape resembling some photos of
Nature I have seen. It include wooden trees, a wet brook, considerable
wasps & other outdoor symptoms.
“Togo,” say Hon. Snow with boss expression, “I shall attend to all
the hard work of this picnic if you fetch 8 buckets water, cut down
11 trees, make Dutch oven by piling stones, put baby to sleep, watch
twins and bake potatus.”
“This are very restful spot,” report Hon. Ethel.
I did not notice it. Nature look like any other kitchen to me, except
there was more room to get tired in.
In the immediate meanwhile all that picnic were unfastening lunching
basket and enjoying many unpleasant things about him.
“Who spilled mustard in angel cake?” require Hon. Snow looking like a
jury.
“Togo,” report Hon. Mrs Snow peevly.
