The Professor was the first to make his appearance with a small yellow pear, which he held up. "What have you found now?" George inquired, as he came running forward with a branch in his hand. "Pears!" exclaimed Harry, as he took it from the Professor's hand. "Not exactly a pear; but a fine fruit which we can use to good advantage. It is the guava." "What a beautiful white flower!
When they had finished, Gibbs addressed the two friends; "We'uns didn't aim to hurt you, Young Matt, but seein' how you're so thick with this here feller, an' 'pear to know so much 'bout him, I reckon we can't hep ourselves nohow."
Kloh came home for lunch, and while Dlorus sat on his lap in the living-room, and repeated that she had been a "bad, naughty, 'ittle dirl what did the fellows say at the mill?" Milt and Claire sat dumpily on the back porch, regarding scenery which featured of seven tin cans, a broken patent washing-machine, and a rheumatic pear tree. "I suppose we ought to start," groaned Claire.
"I don't know when the dinner will be ready, and I don't care." "It is a quarter to seven now, dinner won't be ready before seven, will it, cook? Keep it back a bit. Now I must be off." And, as Maggie expected, Sally ran past the glass houses and the pear and apple trees, for there was at the end of the vegetable garden a door in the brick wall that enclosed the manor house.
In her prosperous days, when she was the ornament of Loni's band and had attracted men as a ripe pear draws wasps, she had often been at the tavern, and both he and the landlord of The Pike had greeted her cordially, for whoever sought her favour was obliged to order the best and dearest of everything, not only for her and himself, but for a whole tableful of hungry guests.
His footfall upon the warped board walk which led to the front door snapped through the silence like a pistol shot.

On one end of the chest of drawers stood a yellow canary on a red pear, and on the other end a red bullfinch on a yellow pear. The floor was dazzlingly clean and neatly sanded.
Then he turned his attention to the big bag which Shock had placed upon the table, the top of which opened out, and a pear or two rolled upon the floor as soon as it was released. "Humph! Pillow-case, eh?" said the old man, and his face brightened as if the suspicion was being cleared away. "Who heard 'em?"
The promising vineyards the orange groves, with their glowing fruit and ample foliage, "looking like golden lamps" in a dark night of leaves the thick leaves of the prickly pear the purple sky above him, lending its rich hue to the sea beside the architectural beauties of the cottages the wide portico of the mansions the flat terrace with its balustrade, over which might be seen a fair face, half concealed by the faldette, smilingly peering, and through whose pillars might be noted a pretty ancle, and siesta-looking slipper these were novelties, and pleasing ones!
When it is put up, let her lie with her legs stretched, and one upon the other, for eight or ten days, and make a pessary in the form of a pear, with cork or sponge, and put it into the womb, dipped in sharp wine, or juice of acacia, with powder of sanguis, with galbanum and bdellium.
