Fly Away Home
by Dorothy Bennett, Irving White

The four Masters children are looking forward to the marriage of their mother to the professor who has the cottage next door.

Word comes that their mother has invited their own father, James Masters, to visit them and make arrangements for a divorce.

James is a solid citizen and more conservative than his offspring.

The professor arrives and the father is jealous at the enthusiasm with which his views are received.

For a week the father struggles against the professor and his influence.

After the various problems have been more or less solved the children suddenly decide that they prefer their father as a member of the family and set to work to help him win their mother back.

The mother eventually sees that the children have been more farsighted than she has herself.

Father has learned his lesson and re-enters the family in a chastened mood.
