"And I
opine they air pretty average useless, too. They were hurrahin' around
all day yest'day while you was out fishin'. Want to take a picture of
Abe's old store here. Dunno what to do about it."
Louise was too much disturbed by her discoveries of overnight to give
much attention to this subject.
"It's Abe's store, you see," went on Cap'n Amazon. "Dunno how he'd
feel 'bout havin' it took in a picture and showed all over the country.
It needs a coat o' paint hi-mighty bad. Ought to be fixed up some
'fore havin' its picture took--don't ye think so, Niece Louise?"
The girl awoke to the matter sufficiently to advise him:
"The lack of paint will not show in the picture, Uncle Amazon. And I
suppose they want the store for a location just because it is
weather-beaten and old-fashioned."
"I want to know! Well, now, if I was in the photograftin' business,
seems t' me I'd pick out the nice-lookin' places to make pictures of.
I knowed a feller once that made a business of takin' photografts in
furin' parts.
