Book Description
In Roy Blakeley's Motor Caravan by Percy Keese Fitzhugh, Roy drives with some Boy Scouts from Klucksville to New York, getting trapped in Grumpy's Crossroads along the way. Excerpt: "Gee whiz, whenever I see that fellow Harry Domicile, I know there's going to be a lot of fun. Just the same as I can always tell if we're going to have mince turnovers for dessert. That's one thing I'm crazy about—mince turnovers. I can tell when I go through the kitchen if we're going to have them because our cook has a kind of look on her face. I can eat five of those things in a sitting, but that isn't saying how many I can eat standing up. Pee-wee Harris can eat seven, even while he's talking at the same time. Anyway, that hasn't got anything to do with Harry Donnelle. Maybe you're wondering why I named this chapter "Some Expedition." If it was about Pee-wee Harris, I'd name it "Some Exhibition," because that kid is a regular circus. So now I guess I'll tell you."
