To show their sense of the unimportance of the occasion, they walked quite slowly to the house, as if they were merely out for a ramble, and going to nothing special at all; or at most intending to pay a casual call and take a cup of tea. At this hour stir and bustle pervaded the interior of Winterborne's domicile from cellar to apple-loft.
I had much talk with him about his apple-loft, for the supply of which all the gardens in the neighborhood were taxed, and some of the lower boys were employed to furnish it. I threatened, but without asperity, to trace the depredators, through his associates, up to their leader. He with perfect good-humor set me at defiance, and I never could bring the charge home to him.
"No doubt, but I feel that I should not make her happy. I am not old enough indeed, I am not." And when the young man is seasoned for it, how happy she will be, poor little thing! a ripe husband, ready to fall from the tree, fit to be put away in the apple-loft!

"I have not seen her for an hour or more," said my mother. "I declare," said my father, "I'll get a retriever pup, and train him to find Theodora. He will be capable in a few months, and she will be foolish for years." Upon this occasion the truant was found in the apple-loft, sitting in a corner upon a heap of straw, quite in the dark.
I return to my usual illustration; among peasants the cupboard and the apple-loft are always left open, and indigestion is unknown alike to children and grown-up people. If, however, it happened that a child were too great an eater, though, under my system, I think it is impossible, he is so easily distracted by his favourite games that one might easily starve him without his knowing it.
