ROLLO IN SOCIETY
Table of Contents
When Rollo was between ten and eleven years old he was seated one day in the little arbor which Jonas had built for him. He was playing with some bright stones and shells which his Uncle George had brought him from the seashore, setting them in rows on the edge of his comfortable bench or, again, marching them in columns as he had seen the soldiers go during training-week. One shell in particular, Rollo admired greatly. It was a large clam-shell in which was a beautiful picture of a light-house and a ship in the distance and below were the words Souvenir of Atlantic City.
How pretty,

While he was absorbed in these reflections he heard his mother’s voice calling, Rol-lo, Rol-lo.
At first, Rollo had a great mind not to go for he disliked being disturbed while he was busy with his shells. However, he finally decided it would be best to obey, so, gathering up his stones and placing the clam-shell in his pocket, he ran toward the house. In the entry he found his father, his mother, and Jonas awaiting him. It was evident from their expression that something of importance had happened.
What do you think, Rollo?
his mother inquired. We are going to move to the city.
HURRAH! HURRAH!
cried Rollo, and then once more, HURRAH for Atlantic City.
Atlantic City?
said his father. What ever put that idea into your head? We are not going to Atlantic City; we are going to New York.

said Rollo, crossly, adding, but if there are light-houses and ships there I shall not mind.
Now this was very wrong of Rollo, for he should have known that it spoilt the pleasure which his parents had hoped to find in surprising him. Children often behave so by acting natural when they should know better. Rollo’s father was considerably vexed, but, realizing that Rollo was still young, he said kindly, "You have many things to learn, my son, but fortunately you still have time in which to learn them, and New York will do very well to begin with. Atlantic City may
