What's going on around here; nothing serious happened, I hope?" "Rest easy on that score, boys," the other replied, still advancing. "Then the machine is still ready for business, is it?" cried Jack. "In apple-pie order, down to the last drop of juice, and ready to do the builders proud. But I'm mighty glad to see you, boys, I surely am.
"It was a shame, really, to ask that question," laughed Mr. Farnum, turning to his companions. "Benson was all but born aboard a boat, and he's a genuine old maid for having things aboard in apple-pie order. His two friends are just like him in that respect." Upon being signaled two workmen of the yard came hastily down to the water's edge.
But mist would play the devil with that scheme, for the enemy would be past the place for flanking fire before we knew it... Oh, I know we had good warning, and had the battle-zone manned in time, but the outpost line was meant to hold out long enough to get everything behind in apple-pie order, and I can't see but how big chunks of it must have gone in the first rush.... Mind you, we've banked everything on that battle-zone.
"'Oh, Doctor, and Miss, and you too, sir, she said, acknowledging my presence with a bend, 'them keys! who was that again that come when first we took over things in this house a gentleman in business it was, and I gave him his luncheon in the small parlour on account of us not having everything as we should like to see it in the large one chicken, and apple-pie, and a glass of madeira dear, dear, you'll say I'm running on, Miss Mary; but I only mention it to bring back my recollection; and there it comes Gardner, just the same as it did last week with the artichokes and the text of the sermon.
She was not like Blanche; for Blanche had a bright complexion, and a fine neck, and a noble bust, et vera incessu patuit Dea a true goddess, that is, as far as the eye went. She had a grand idea, moreover, of an apple-pie, and had not reigned eighteen months at Creamclotted Hall before she knew all the mysteries of pigs and milk, and most of those appertaining to cider and green cheese.
'Oh, drop it! she said rather crossly; so he did, for he was not a brutal brother, though very ingenious in apple-pie beds, booby-traps, original methods of awakening sleeping relatives, and the other little accomplishments which make home happy. 'I had such a funny dream, Anthea began. 'So did I, said Jane, wakening suddenly and without warning.
This is a wedge, going to the centre, of the general shape of a slice of apple-pie in a large and not opulent family. Length, about eighteen inches. I have studied the growth of this tree by its rings, and it is curious. Three hundred and forty-two rings. Started, therefore, about 1510. The thickness of the rings tells the rate at which it grew.
No man could say, 'Mr F.'s Aunt, will you permit me? Every man retired from the spoon, as Clennam did, cowed and baffled. There was mutton, a steak, and an apple-pie nothing in the remotest way connected with ganders and the dinner went on like a disenchanted feast, as it truly was.
And as Peggy who happened out on the porch at that moment, threw the weight of her influence on the side of those who were protesting against any further visits to Mrs. Snooks, it seemed probable that the curiosity of the company would remain ungratified. Aunt Abigail was an old lady abundantly able to keep her own counsel. Peggy viewed the apple-pie with an air of disquiet.
I will take pains with them. I will, by Jove! July 8. I did little to-day but arrange papers, and put bills, receipts, etc., into apple-pie order. I believe the fair prospect I have of clearing off some encumbrances, which are like thorns in my flesh, nay, in my very eye, contribute much to this.
