Summer Boarding

• Watchlist

Vic reads an ad in the Summer Resort column of a daily paper advertising "Restful Villa" at Bullem-in-the-Pines. The place, so the ad reads, has everything your heart would desire, and wanting to get away from the heat of the city, Vic decides here's the chance and packs his family up and off they go. They soon arrive at Bullem-in-the-Pines and are met at the station by a hack man, whom Vic describes as "Rip Van Winkle." After many hardships in the hack they manage to reach Restful Villa. The place is everything that your heart would not desire, and from this moment on Vic's troubles begin. Many things happen to him and his family trying to escape from the Villa, by climbing down out of the window. They manage to make a "get away," and arrive home all in, resolving that so far as summer boarding is concerned, "never again."
