Explore "The Happy Six" by Penn Shirley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Of all the passengers on the ship, -- and there were perhaps six hundred, -- none interested the boys of The Happy Six like the young man with one leg, who was going to London and Paris to astonish the people by his tricks on a bicycle.
He had a wife, a very pleasant young woman, and Molly and Pauline liked to talk with her. She told them she was in the habit of riding on her own wheel, ahead of her husband, and throwing balls in the air for him to fire at as he followed her; and he never failed to hit the balls.
