[Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter]@TWC D-Link bookLaddie CHAPTER XII 18/81
He was not going to help her get a summer school, and O my soul! I hope no one does, for if they do, I have to go, and I'd rather die than go to school in the summer. Leon came in about that time with more fox stories.
Been in Jacob Hood's chicken house and taken his best Dorking rooster, and father said it was time to do something.
He never said a word so long as they took Deams', except they should have barn room for their geese, but when anything was the matter at Hoods' father and mother started doing something the instant they heard of it.
So father and Laddie rode around the neighbourhood and talked it over, and the next night they had a meeting at our schoolhouse; men for miles came, and they planned a regular old-fashioned foxchase, and every one was wild about it. Laddie told it at Pryors' and the Princess wanted to go; she asked to go with him, and if you please, Mr.Pryor wanted to go too, and their Thomas.
They attended the meeting to tell how people chase foxes in England, where they seem to hunt them most of the time.
