JOHNNY BLOSSOM FIGHTING 25
Every one said that Uncle Isaac was awfully
rich. Well, then, why did he look so sad and
why was he always thinking and thinking so
hard? What in the world could he be puzzling
about when he was so rich? Why, he had
everything, even to a saddle horse and a
pleasure yacht; and the horse was a thoroughbred,
according to Carlstrom the coachman.
It was different with Father. When he looked
troubled, Mother said he was worried about
money matters, and that we had to be very
careful with our money. Pshaw! Why must
some people be so careful about money, and
some ride on fine saddle horses, and some have
nothing but fish to eat, morning, noon, and
night ?
If he only hadn’t smashed Tellef’s fishing
rod yesterday!
"Yes, we love our grand old Norway!"
Suddenly he stopped short. Think of his whistling
in Kingthorpe Park! It was to be hoped that
no one had heard. Of course you should be
nice and quiet here. It was to be hoped, too,
that that ill-tempered watchdog would not come
growling along. Not that Johnny Blossom
was afraid of him. Far from it! But that dog
was so cross, you couldn’t like him.
