[Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter]@TWC D-Link bookLaddie CHAPTER VII 29/62
Gee, how mother scolded him after the preacher had gone! You notice father hasn't asked that since.
Now, he always says: 'Do you prefer light or dark meat ?' Much chance you have of ever tasting a tail, if father won't even give one to the Presiding Elder!" "But as many as they are killing----" "Oh THIS time," said Leon with a flourish, "this time we are going to have livers, and breast, and thighs, AND tails, if you are beholden to tail." "I'd like to know how we are ?" "Well, since you have proved that you can keep your mouth shut, for a little while, anyway, I'm going to take you in on this," said Leon. "You keep your eyes on me.
When the wedding gets going good, you watch me, and slip out.
That's all! I'll be fixed to do the rest.
But mind this, get out when I do." "All right," I promised. They must have wakened about four o'clock on the wedding day; it wasn't really light when I got up.
