Flies are a nuisance in South Harniss in midsummer and Captain Shad detested them.
Just as the last sheet was laid in place, a young fellow and a girl came in.

Mary-'Gusta recognized them both.

The girl was the seventeen-year-old daughter of a wealthy summer resident, a Mr.Keith from Chicago.

The Keiths had a fine cottage on the bluff at the other end of the village.

The young chap with her was, so gossip reported, a college friend of her brother.
