Victor Ollnee's Discipline

"Victor Ollnee's Discipline" is an absorbing story about mothers and sons with spiritual themes. It is written by Hamlin Garland, an American novelist, poet, essayist, short story writer, Georgist, and psychical researcher, famous for his fiction involving hard-working Midwestern farmers. Excerpt «Saturday had been a strenuous day for the baseball team of Winona University, and Victor Ollnee, its redoubtable catcher, slept late. Breakfast at the Beta Kappa Fraternity House on Sunday started without him, and Gilbert Frenson, who never played ball or tennis, and Arnold Macey, who was too effeminate to swing a bat, divided the Sunday morning Star between them.»
