[Dave Porter at Star Ranch by Edward Stratemeyer]@TWC D-Link bookDave Porter at Star Ranch CHAPTER XVI 8/14
The boys and girls sang some of the familiar church songs, and this the cowboys greatly enjoyed. "We don't git much in the way of entertainment here," explained Sid Todd, "and that singin' sounds mighty good to us.
It touches a fellow here, too," he added, with his finger over his heart. "If Mr.Endicott will permit it, we'll give you boys an entertainment before we go home," answered Dave.
"We give them at Oak Hall, you know,--and the girls can help." "Say, that sure would be fine!" answered the cowboy, enthusiastically. The boys had found out from Mr.Endicott where good fishing could be had, and early of the second week at Star Ranch they went out, taking the girls with them.
All were on horseback, and carried lunch along, for they were to remain out all day. "Now keep out of trouble," said Mrs.Endicott, as they rode away.
"And be sure to come back before dark." "We'll be back by six, mamma," answered Belle.
