But a lady, who was quite a stranger, though she did me the honour to speak to me, explained that it was "no such thing worth a plum still, if he be worth a farthing.

A cheer sounded faintly from Lost Island; Jerry wanted to cheer himself. Now he heard another kind of sound, but this time there was no doubt in his mind as to its source.

A sleeping room should be provided with a window on the south side and reaching nearly to the floor. A hotbed sash is excellent for this purpose. The runway or yard should be as large as our purse will permit. In this yard plant a plum tree for shade. The chickens will keep the plum trees free from the "curculio," a small beetle which is the principal insect pest of this fruit.

When I git into that state I'm plum' distracted on the question o' food, though it makes me smarter an' more keerful than ever on the ways to git it.
In those days the orderly officer would go round with his question of "Any complaints?" "Yes, look here, sir. What do you think of that?" "Why, dear me, man, it seems very good soup!"
