The Samsons: Two Novels; (Modern Library) - Plot & Excerpts
The tracks from the pier for the diesel trolleys that would carry the ore and the scrap iron to the furnaces had also been laid, and in the scrap yard, mountains of junk were ready for cutting before they were fed to the furnaces. A covey of newspapermen including Godo and Charlie had visited the mill and the visit itself had climaxed Tony’s work of a month, preparing background materials, photographs, and related data on the country’s steel needs.

Don Manuel had suggested a vacation for him, and the opportunity to visit the Ilocos had come.

The idea of slumming in some benighted village did not appeal to her, and she would not have gone if her father had not prodded her to go along.
