EBOOK DESCRIPTION: |
|
She laughed. "I like to give advice," she said, "but I must admit that I sometimes think better of a person if he does not take it. But I will say—and this is all the advice I am going to give you at present—that if you want to be successful in making love, you must change your methods. You cannot expect to step up in front of a girl and stop her short as if she were a runaway horse. A horse doesn't like that sort of thing, and a girl doesn't like it. You must take more time about it. A runaway girl doesn't hurt anybody, and, if you are active enough, you can jump in behind and take the reins and stop her gradually without hurting her feelings, and then, most likely, you can drive her for all the rest of your life."
"Then it has not been a wheel of fortune to you?" she remarked. "And as for that country which you figuratively called Cathay, did you find that pleasant?"
Frank Stockton's literary adventure, A Bicycle of Cathay, describes the vacation of a young professor on a summer vacation with his bicycle. He encounters various families who give him shelter during a rainstorm, and bear chase. Bear has eaten his bicycle tire, and the master of the bear runs off. This leaves the professor with the responsibility of getting rid of the bear thus meeting another wonderful and helpful family. |
