"Want to try it this morning?" "I don't think I've forgotten how," said Meg cautiously, "but I'd rather Jud milked, 'cause he can do it so much faster than I can; and then he can go round with us and see the things." That little speech pleased Jud mightily and pleased Peter Apgar, too, because, you will remember, Peter was Jud's father.
When The Sarah bumped into the Greenpier wharf, the four little Blossoms made a simultaneous discovery. "Jud!" they shrieked in unison. "Jud Apgar! Oh, Juddy!" It was Jud, Jud grinning happily with a traveling bag in one hand and a box in the other. "Go easy now," he warned the children as they descended upon him in a body.
"I like to keep the film running. This sitting about all day and reeling off only ten feet makes me tired." "You like action!" laughed Ruth. "Yes; and plenty of it." Oak Farm was the property of the Apgars. There was Mr. Belix Apgar, the father, Nance, his wife, and Sandy, an energetic son.

"Then there is only one other theory." Mrs. Pell looked very grave as she spoke. "What is that, mother?" She did not reply at once. Reginald was very dear to her. She hated to expose his failings even to his own brother.
Alma Benitz was the name she chose that night when Frank Apgar escorted her from his "ark" to his mother's hospitality, and that means of identification was serving her beautifully in the home of Mrs. J. Bennington Osborne, Terrace End, Elmhurst.
When they reached the town of Pomona, they left him at the post-office, where he said Joe Gates was always to be found. Another five miles brought the Blossoms to Brookside Farm. "There's Foots!" shouted Twaddles, standing up on the seat and waving to Aunt Polly, who came flying down the drive. "And Linda!" cried Meg. "And Jud! And Peter Apgar!" shrieked Bobby.
In that book was told how the acquaintance was made of Sandy Apgar, who ran a farm in New Jersey. As Mr. Pertell was looking for some country scenes to use in connection with his moving picture dramas, he took his entire company out to Oak Farm, hiring it from the Apgars.
