The twins from Grand Rapids who were living in the green cottage wanted him to play Indians on the beach. The boy from Detroit, whose mother didn't know where he was half the time, had been teasing him to go swimming. 'Phonse LeBrinn, child of Mackinaw, was throwing stones at the boat-house, a signal Billy well understood. When 'Phonse had a plan that promised more fun than usual, he always threw stones at the boat-house. Other boys came to the door and rang the bell or knocked when they wanted Billy. [Pg 2]'Phonse knew better. Billy longed to find out what was on his mind, but it wouldn't do to let any one know that the ragged little playmate had a particular reason for throwing stones.\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly a light dawned on Billy's face. \"Mamma,\" said he, \"let me go down on the beach and tell Frenchy he must quit that, he'll spoil the paint. I won't be gone but a minute.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Now, see here,\" remonstrated Billy's mother, \"never mind what 'Phonse is doing, and keep away from the window, Billy, so he won't see you. Come, child, Aunt Florence will soon be ready.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Oh, shoot the luck! I don't want to go with Aunt Florence. I want to play with the boys. What made Betty go and tell her all about old fort relics, I'd like to know.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"Hush, hush, Billy! Aunt Florence may hear you.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bronson Tweed Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111220986096,"sku":"2940148268260","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148268260_p0.jpg?v=1763699572","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148268260","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
