These two tribes were at war with each other.
For she answers, "No, but I tried St. Augustine last winter. Not a morsel of good." Among these you encounter sometimes lovely, frail, transparent girls, who come down with cheeks of wax, and go home in two months with cheeks of apple.

About him was a robe of purple, and an apple of gold was at each corner, and every one of the apples was of the value of a hundred cows. And the blades of grass bent not beneath him, so light were his horse's feet as he journeyed toward the gate of Arthur's palace. 'Is there a porter? cried Kilweh, looking round for someone to open the gate.
As for the apple pudding, it had vanished altogether; and the dish was licked as clean as if Boxer, the yard dog, had been at it in his hungriest mood. "And my white tablecloth oh, my clean white tablecloth! What can have been done to it?" cried she in amazement.

Then he broke into a laugh, and catching her to him, stopped her mouth with kisses. "Well, we're in it," he said, "and we can't get out, so there's no use fighting about it." Old Reuben, seated in his chair on the porch, watched Molly come up the flagged walk over the bright green edgings of moss. Her eyes, which were like wells of happiness, smiled at him beneath the blossoming apple boughs.
"Lucretia," he said, "you haven't changed." "You have, Ezra," she replied, looking at the Adam's apple. "I'm an old man," said Ezra Graves.

"Ezra," said Miss Lucretia, "for a man you do very well." The judge smiled. "Thank you, Lucretia," said he.
