Richmond, Grace S. (Grace Smith), 1866-1959

"A Court of Inquiry"


"Here's the fellow who's been worrying over his Memorial Day address!"
cried Uncle Stephen proudly.
"It was a rousing good one," declared Stuart.
"Never heard a better," agreed Uncle Chester. "He's gone 'half a league
onward,' if the rest of us have stood still."
Uncle Arthur came round, his face rather red, and sat down beside David.
"Don't you believe them, Major," he said softly. "I could have done it
much better if I could have worn my corporal's uniform."
THE END


A COURT OF INQUIRY
BY GRACE S. RICHMOND.

This is a charming story of a group of girl and men friends and the
effect of their pairing off upon the narrator and her "Philosopher."
Althea, Azalea, Camellia, Dahlia, Hepatica--and their several
entanglements with the Promoter, the Cashier, the Skeptic, the Judge and
the Professor, form an admirable background of diverse personalities
against which grows the main love story. One sees these charming groups
through the eyes of the one who tells the tale--and very shrewd and
delightful eyes they are, seeing life in its true perspective with much
real philosophy and true feeling.
