Bygone Church Life In Scotland, Ed. By W. Andrews<br\/><br\/><editor> William Andrews<br\/><br\/><\/title></p> <!----> <!----></div> <div class="chapter-content box" data-v-0942b491><h2 class="chapter-title" data-v-0942b491>Chapter 1 No.1</h2> <div class="chapter-text" data-v-0942b491><div data-v-0942b491><p class='p_sj'>Getting Ready.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>With the catalog and prospectus in front of you, making delightful little shivers run up and down your spine, you begin marking down, first, the articles you must have; then the things you hope your fond relatives will give you; then the clothes and athletic goods without which any boy with true camping spirit cannot get along.</p><p class='p_sj'></p></div> <div data-v-0942b491><p class='p_sj'>Your father, who secretly expects to come out to Camp and use some of your cherished sweaters, running pants, swimming trunks, etc., etc., suggests that you get extra large sizes, to allow for shrinkage. You protest, telling him that you don't want your clothes to look like "hand-me-downs," that you had inherited from your big brother.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>After many heart-breaking wrenches, during which you feel as though even death itself were preferable to giving up all the articles you have chosen, you effect a compromise by saying you will be satisfied with one fishing rod, six pairs of running pants, several pairs of sneakers, lots of sweaters, a complete outfit of oilskins, tennis racket, baseball bat, balls, and Oh! what a good boy you would be, if you could have a canoe.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>You would study all winter, not want to stay up late, cross your heart to leave cigarettes and trashy novels alone, but, gee whiz! only to be the owner of a canoe. You even appeal to your father, who weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, and try to make him see the fun of going out with you. Suppose you were upset? What of it? You can both swim.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Mother, dear, puts a quick veto on that. No canoe for you at any price. In fact, owing to her nervous system being in need of recuperation, she thinks the bath tub the best place to swim in, and deplores the risks one must take in order to be athletic.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>The 'House' having vetoed the canoe question, you offer another little bill, asking for an appropriation for a shotgun, or at least one of those dandy little air rifles, so you can shoot at targets and the farmers' cows and chickens.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Before you can be heard the 'House' vetoes that, too. Danger signals are displayed, and you feel as though you were treading on a third rail.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>The 'House' suggests that you should spend the summer with her, taking views with your Kodak, walking miles every day and playing ping pong and lotto every evening, thus getting a nice quiet rest to prepare you for a long winter's study.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>In the deepest despair you clutch your father's hand. He gives you a sympathetic squeeze in return. Say, is there anything on the face of this earth like the loving freemasonry between a sporty parent and his little son?</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Not to agitate matters any more and change the subject, you ask how much pocket money you are to be allowed per week. The 'House' again rises to object, claiming that, as there are no car fares to be paid or soda fountains to tempt, you cannot have any possible use for money. You will be furnished with plenty of paper and stamped envelopes and sundries, thus for once relieving you of the strain of handling money.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Well, whoever heard of a right little, tight little boy who objected to the jingle of loose change in his pants pockets? "If such there be, go mark him well," for he surely will need watching.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>From data you have gathered, you inform the 'House' that a camel with three stomachs isn't in it with a hungry boy at Camp; that your special friends, Jack, Ed, and Fatty, all spend their weekly money, and that nothing but the fear of being punished keeps them from gnawing the canvas tents. They live in the open all the time and are constantly hungry.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Just about the time when one feels that hunger laughs at locksmiths, the ice cream and cake man drives in. If you have ever in your travels seen a horde of hungry little piglings swarm all over a trough you can form some idea of what those boys do to that wagon. The boys are simply starving for ice cream and cake. One plate is only an introduction; with the second one you begin to distinguish the flavor; it really needs a third one to put that sweet icy feeling in your stomach so earnestly desired by the growing youth. The next day, or maybe next but one, our friend the fruit man calls. All your life you have been told of the value of fruit. Your system at this time craves lots of it. It is very good for you. Oh! yes, certainly! but it has to be paid for from some of that pocket money. All this and more you tell them, being careful to cross your t's and dot your i's for fear of the 'House's' objections.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Father and mother decide to consult together. You see the moment has arrived, when you will gain more by saying less, so you kiss them good-night and "stand not upon the order of your going."</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Upstairs you fall into a brown study. With your clothes half off, you think of the fun you will have; perhaps of the medals you will win, and there creeps just a little undercurrent of sadness through you at the thought of parting from your devoted parents. "Ah, me! I kind of hate to leave mother," you think, then console yourself that they will be coming up to see you. About this time your day dream ends suddenly, for they are coming upstairs. Out goes the light. Into bed you jump. Are asleep in the twinkling of an eye, to dream that you are at Camp, enjoying all the fun and frolic there.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>The minute you open your eyes in the morning you read the catalog from beginning to end, look at the pictures, try to fancy yourself posing as the champion high diver, jumper and tennis player, and forget to brush your teeth, in your hurry to get to school, where you can consult with your chums.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Not one sporting goods window can you pass without a curious glance. In fact, dear boy, you are in such a maze that when the teacher asks you to tell him how you would start for the North Pole you answer promptly: "From the Grand Central Station, on the Bar Harbor Express," and, for the life of you, cannot see why the class roars at you.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Some weeks never seem to come to an end, and this, the very longest week of your life, just crawls away. Saturday your fond father has promised to go with you and purchase the athletic goods, while mother attends to the rest.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>You want to know where he is going to buy them and what he is going to get. Are told to come along and not fuss any more. If there is any smell on the face of this earth that smells nicer than new leather in an athletic goods shop, I want to smell it. Oh, me! Oh, my! what beauties, and you have to bite your tongue to keep from interrupting.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Business has been very good with father, and he, thinking back over his own boyhood, when money was as scarce as hens' teeth, makes up his mind to fit you out so as to be a credit to yourself and him.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Later in life you may blossom out in a Prince Albert and silk hat, a dinner or full dress suit, but never, as long as you live, will clothes ever give you the unalloyed pleasure that these camping togs do in your first year at Camp.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>As a rule, you are not over and above fond of carrying bundles. The cook can vouch for that. How much bribery she had to practice to make you bring home quickly a bottle of milk or of water or a bunch of soup greens. But now you are perfectly willing to carry everything from sneakers to caps, and can hardly trust the salesman to send them home.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>In the privacy of your room you strip off your clothes in a jiffy, for the joy of trying on the different sweaters, running pants and swimming trunks. In your baseball clothes you pose, in fancy, almost a miniature Mathewson; try a high dive from the bureau to the bed; do a hurdle over the towel rack. Nothing but the fear of breaking the furniture stops you in your wild gambols.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Another peep at the catalog to see if you have everything you need; a fervent hope that you may make good, and bring home with you in the fall a silver cup or trophy. Then, carefully folding each and every garment with almost reverent care, you vow to keep your trunk in order. If any one should mention the fact to you, you would be indignant at the idea of not caring a jot at the end of the season whether you collected your belongings or left them lying around loose.</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Among the gifts you have thus far received are a compass, a kodak and a housewife filled with thread, needles, buttons, etc. There does not seem to be one thing wanting to make life one long, sweet song unless it is the canoe which you hope for next year. All through life that one little thing which would make us perfectly happy, if we had it, and yet the perfect happiness is not for mortals. Truly, the poet knew what he was talking about when he said,</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>"Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Is our destined end or way;</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>But to act, that each to-morrow</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>Find us farther than to-day."</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>* * *</p><p class='p_sj'></p><p class='p_sj'>* * *</p></div></div> <a href="/readBook/12485322/248746/Camping" target="_blank" class="read-btn btn isClick" data-v-0942b491>Continue Reading</a></div> <!----> <div class="flex-ac-jc" data-v-0942b491><div class="viewMore" data-v-0942b491><img alt="img" src="data:image/png;base64,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" class="downloadIcon" data-v-0942b491> View More Comments on App </div></div> <!----> <div class="like-box" style="background-color: #ffffff" data-v-0942b491><h2 class="book-items-title" data-v-0942b491>You'll also like</h2> <div class="book-items" data-v-0942b491><div class="book-item" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/53776322/Billionaires/The-Billionaires-Ugly-Wife" class="img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="lazy-image imgHover" data-v-7919aefc data-v-0942b491><img src="https://cos-enres.cdreader.com/site-322(new)/0/53776/coverbig.jpg?v=2351df62731368a496bd970674d027b8" alt="The Billionaire's Ugly Wife" class="real-image" data-v-7919aefc> <div data-v-7919aefc></div></div></a> <div class="right" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/53776322/Billionaires/The-Billionaires-Ugly-Wife" data-v-0942b491><h3 class="title ellipsis" data-v-0942b491>The Billionaire's Ugly Wife</h3></a> <a target="_blank" href="/author/Ximena-West-151386403" class="classify" data-v-0942b491><icon href='https://upimg.cdreader.com/resource/author_1.png?1'/>Ximena West</a> <div class="star-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img star" data-v-0942b491></div> <div class="star-img-light-box star" style="width:100%;" data-v-0942b491></div></div> <div class="item-star" data-v-0942b491>5.0</div></div> <p class="introduce" data-v-0942b491>"I've warned you from the beginning. Don't marry him, but you won't listen." Darcy stood close to me and smiled with concern. "You're not a woman worthy of a man as handsome, rich, smart, and virile as Blaze." My whole body trembled at her words. "Have you no shame?" I asked. "Take a good look at yourself, Heather." She stared at me in the mirror. "You can't even glance at your ugly face. Do you think Blaze can endure a lifetime of gazing at that scar?" Heather Bailey got a surprise from her husband: a divorce agreement. After a year of marriage and facing ups and downs, she couldn't believe Blaze intended to divorce her. She was devastated when she saw him gazing lovingly at another woman. After signing the divorce papers, shockwaves caught her up. Her flower shop was burned to the ground. Her father's company collapsed, and her parents blamed her. She struggled to rebuild her life from the ground up and became more successful than ever. Having many customers from influential families, she started her revenge on Blaze. She won the very thing he wanted, but that was just the beginning.</p></div></div><div class="book-item" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/66357322/Werewolf/The-Lycan-Princes-Puppy" class="img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="lazy-image imgHover" data-v-7919aefc data-v-0942b491><img src="https://cos-enres.cdreader.com/site-322(new)/0/66357/coverbig.jpg?v=5b452d85c811e08543fb183b699840d1" alt="The Lycan Prince's Puppy" class="real-image" data-v-7919aefc> <div data-v-7919aefc></div></div></a> <div class="right" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/66357322/Werewolf/The-Lycan-Princes-Puppy" data-v-0942b491><h3 class="title ellipsis" data-v-0942b491>The Lycan Prince's Puppy</h3></a> <a target="_blank" href="/author/chavontheauthor-116888325" class="classify" data-v-0942b491><icon href='https://upimg.cdreader.com/resource/author_1.png?1'/>chavontheauthor</a> <div class="star-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img star" data-v-0942b491></div> <div class="star-img-light-box star" style="width:98.00000000000001%;" data-v-0942b491></div></div> <div class="item-star" data-v-0942b491>4.9</div></div> <p class="introduce" data-v-0942b491>"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."</p></div></div><div class="book-item" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/66043322/Billionaires/Billionaires-Pregnant-Runaway-Wife" class="img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="lazy-image imgHover" data-v-7919aefc data-v-0942b491><img src="https://cos-enres.cdreader.com/site-322(new)/0/66043/coverbig.jpg?v=d3ac5f95a5507524b7c00b9b2754738e" alt="Billionaire's Pregnant Runaway Wife" class="real-image" data-v-7919aefc> <div data-v-7919aefc></div></div></a> <div class="right" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/66043322/Billionaires/Billionaires-Pregnant-Runaway-Wife" data-v-0942b491><h3 class="title ellipsis" data-v-0942b491>Billionaire's Pregnant Runaway Wife</h3></a> <a target="_blank" href="/author/Rashmi-155413128" class="classify" data-v-0942b491><icon href='https://upimg.cdreader.com/resource/author_1.png?1'/>Rashmi</a> <div class="star-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img star" data-v-0942b491></div> <div class="star-img-light-box star" style="width:100%;" data-v-0942b491></div></div> <div class="item-star" data-v-0942b491>5.0</div></div> <p class="introduce" data-v-0942b491>Rose looked at the reports in her hand and was in shock...

However, she still didn't get out of her surprise when she met the man in her dream... Kevin Davis looked at the reports in her hand and asked, "Is this child mine?"

Selene Grace was only a replica of Alpha Leo's real mate, and when he spotted her, Leo immediately claimed her as his Luna in order to suppress the rumors of him being mateless. Being unable to conceive turns Selene's marriage into a nightmare, and as if that wasn't enough, Alpha Leo finally reunites with his long time lover and mate, rejecting a pregnant Selene as a result. 5 years later, Selene, a now successful doctor, receives an invitation to the moon shadow pack in order to rid the pack of a deadly disease which has struck it. Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?</p></div></div><div class="book-item" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/23814322/Werewolf/The-5-time-Rejected-Gamma-the-Lycan-King" class="img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="lazy-image imgHover" data-v-7919aefc data-v-0942b491><img src="https://cos-enres.cdreader.com/site-322(new)/0/23814/coverbig.jpg?v=04c36b67af425601cbf104b5d58d7a04" alt="The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King" class="real-image" data-v-7919aefc> <div data-v-7919aefc></div></div></a> <div class="right" data-v-0942b491><a target="_blank" href="/bookDetail/23814322/Werewolf/The-5-time-Rejected-Gamma-the-Lycan-King" data-v-0942b491><h3 class="title ellipsis" data-v-0942b491>The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King</h3></a> <a target="_blank" href="/author/Stina%E2%80%98s-Pen-121306356" class="classify" data-v-0942b491><icon href='https://upimg.cdreader.com/resource/author_1.png?1'/>Stina‘s Pen</a> <div class="star-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img-box" data-v-0942b491><div class="star-img star" data-v-0942b491></div> <div class="star-img-light-box star" style="width:98.00000000000001%;" data-v-0942b491></div></div> <div class="item-star" data-v-0942b491>4.9</div></div> <p class="introduce" data-v-0942b491>COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?</p></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="hide" data-v-0942b491><div

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner.\n\nKing Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her.\n\nBut when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together?
