Excerpt from The Boy Scouts of Bob's Hill: A Sequel to "the Bob's Hill Braves"

Anyhow, seven of us Bob's Hill boys sat there one Saturday afternoon in May, planning What to do in the long vacation. Every member of the Band was there, not counting Tom Chapin, except Skinny Miller, and we were expecting him every minute.

He was late then, and every' little while one of us would stick his head around the edge of the barn to see if he wasn't coming up the driveway from Park Street. We might as well have sat still, for you never can tell which way he will come.

Pa says that Skinny is like the wind, which bloweth whither it listeth. I don't exactly know what he meant but that is what he said, or some thing like that.
