Synopsis
Excerpt from The House of Rimmon
This sort of dreaming is not so unusual among boys as to impress the average parent greatly; nevertheless, Mrs. Harrod - who represented the ab solute average - professed an alarmed admiration verging on panic, over Cleveland's tendencies. To be sure, she was forever falling into a state of excite ment about the gifts or achievements of some mem ber of the family. Greta had such a turn for music! You positively could not keep the child away from the player; she spent all her pocket-money buying new rolls for it; and when a musical show came along, like The Merry Widow for instance, or that other new one, The Chinese Honeymoon, why, her father just simply had to take her, that was all! Well, Melvin had a marvellous ear him self, Greta came by hers rightly. Or, she believed that Billy was a real mechanical genius! You ought to see him take his bicycle to pieces - entirely to pieces, mind you l - and clean it and put it together again as good as new; same way with his camera.
