That's what I
kind of think. It would be just like him anyway.
One thing, you're going to meet all those fellows again, but not in this
story. Because after a while we went up to that farm in Greendale and
camped there, and met old Major Chandler and Mr. Wade and Horace, and had a
lot of fun, you can bet. It's a whole story all by itself. They have dandy
russet apples up there, and, oh boy, can't Horace's sister Betty make apple
dumplings. I ate four one night. Hunt Manners ate six, but anyway he
started before I did.
CHAPTER XXXIV
A GOOD IDEA
That same day we hiked out through Woodstock. Harry Donnelle said we had to
be careful, because the woods were infested with poets and authors and
artists, but I should worry, who's afraid of a poet? We saw a lot of them
and they wore funny big neckties and long hair. But anyway, Harry said they
were harmless. They live in little shacks.
We went around the Ashokan Reservoir and then along the road down through
Atwood and Stone Ridge till we got to the Wallkill River, and that night we
camped near New Paltz. There's a great big abnormal school there, or a
normal school, or whatever you call it.
