Nothing ever happens to me in vacation. It’s all well enough for you fellows to laugh. You’re going up to college together in the Fall. I’m coming back to this rotten hole all alone! Not quite alone, Sweet Youth, corrected Joe. There will be some four hundred other fellows here. Oh, well, you know what I mean, said Perry impatiently. You and Steve will be gone, and I don’t give a hang for any other chaps! He ended somewhat defiantly, conscious that he had indulged in a most unmanly display of sentiment, and was glad that the darkness hid the confusion and heightened colour that followed the confession. Steve and Joe charitably pretended not to have noticed the lamentable exhibition of feeling, and a silence followed, during Tory Burch Embossed Leather Bags which the voices of the singers once more became audible. Dexter! Mother of our Youth! Dexter! Guardian of the Truth! Cut it out! Perry leaned over the windowsill and bawled the command down into the darkness. A defiant jeer answered him. Don’t be fresh, said Steve reprovingly. Perry mumbled and relapsed into silence. Presently, sighing as he changed his position, Joe said: I believe Perry’s right about vacation, Steve. Nothing much ever does happen to a fellow in Summer. I believe I’ve had more fun in school than at home the last six years. The others considered the statement a minute. Then: Correct, said Steve.
It’s so, I guess. We’re always crazy to get home in June and just as crazy to get back to school again in September, and I believe we all have more good times here than at home. Of course we do, agreed Perry animatedly. Anyway, I do. Summers are all just the same. My folks lug me off to the Water Gap and we stay there until it’s time to come back here. I play tennis and go motoring and sit around on the porch andandbathe Let’s hope so, interpolated Joe gravely. And nothing really interesting ever happens, ended Perry despairingly. Gee, I’d like to be a pirate oror something! Summers are rather deadly, assented Steve. We go to the seashore, but tory burch dena messenger the place is filled with swells, and about all they do is change their clothes, eat and sleep. When you get ready for piracy, Perry, let me know, will you! I’d like to signon. Put me down, too, said Joe. I’ve always had aumsneaking idea that I’d make a bully pirate. I’m naturally bloodthirsty and cruel. And I’ve got a mental list of folks whoumI’d like to watch walk the plank!
Fellows of our ages have a rotten time of it, anyway, Perry grumbled. We’re too old to play kids’ games and too young to do anything worth while. What I’d like to do Proceed, Sweet Youth, Joe prompted after a moment. Well, I’d like toto start something! I’d like to get away somewhere and do things. I’m tired of loafing around in white flannels all day and keeping my hands clean. And I’m tired of dabbing whitewash on my shoes! Didn’t you fellows ever think that you’d like to get good and dirty and not have to care? Wouldn’t you like tory burch handbags discount to put on an old flannel shirt and a pair of khaki trousers and some ’sneakers’ andand roll in the mud? Elemental stuff, murmured Joe. He’s been reading Jack London. Well, that’s the way I feel, lots of times, said Perry defiantly. I’m tired of being clean and white, and I’m tired of dinner jackets, and I’m sick to death of hotel porches!
