A lawn! What effrontery! What business had these condescending second-raters to presume to improve a perfectly good beach which was satisfactory to other folks? He'd show 'em! He took a step in the direction of the transplanted sea grass. Unexpectedly the door of the Appleboy kitchen opened. "I warned you!" enunciated Mr.
And then into this Eden only not by virtue of the excision of any vertebra such as was originally necessary in the case of Adam burst woman. There was silence no longer. The air was rent with clamor; for both Appleboy and Tunnygate, within a month of one another, took unto themselves wives. Wives after their own image!
How did you happen to have the idea of getting a dog?" Mrs. Appleboy turned the full moon of her homely countenance upon the court. "The potato peel came down that way!" she explained blandly. "What!" exploded the dealer in rubber novelties. "The potato peel it spelled 'dog," she repeated artlessly. "Lord!" deeply suspirated Pepperill. "What a case! Carry me out!" "Well, Mr.
I wonder what Captain Prigg would have said, if he had seen such a turn-out as you, Mr Smith, on his quarter-deck." "I should have had one turn-out more," drawled Smith. "With your out-at-elbows jacket, there, heh!" continued Mr Appleboy. Smith turned up his elbows, looked at one and then at the other: after so fatiguing an operation, he was silent.
He was boarded and taken possession of; he asserted that the extra men were only passengers; but, in the first place, they were dressed in seamen's clothes; and, in the second, as soon as the boat was aboard of her, Appleboy had gone down to his gin-toddy, and was not to be disturbed.
"Then she has a cargo in her;" and Mr Appleboy shaved himself, dressed, and went on deck. "Yes," said the lieutenant, rubbing his eyes again and again, and then looking through the glass, "it is her sure enough. Let draw the fore sheet hands make sail. What vessel's the other?" "Don't know, sir, she's a cutter." "A cutter? yes; may be a yacht, or may be the new cutter ordered on the station.
"Andrew " "You can explain all that to the judge," retorted the cop. "Meantime put on your duds and climb in. If you don't expect to spend the night at the station you'd better bring along the deed of your house so you can give bail." "But who's the warrant for?" persisted Mrs. Appleboy. "For Enoch Appleboy," retorted the cop wearily. "Can't you read?" "But Enoch didn't do a thing!" she declared.

"What on earth is that sign?" wrathfully demanded Mrs. Tunnygate one morning about a week later as she looked across the Appleboys' lawn from her kitchen window. "Can you read it, Herman?" Herman stopped trying to adjust his collar and went out on the piazza.
"Did you know that Andrew was a vicious dog?" inquired Tutt. "No!" answered Mrs. Appleboy firmly. "I didn't." O woman! "That is all," declared Tutt with a triumphant smile. "Then," snapped Pepperill, "why did you send for him?" "I was lonely," answered Bashemath unblushingly. "Do you mean to tell this jury that you didn't know that that dog was one of the worst biters in Livornia?"
"Eh? Beg pardon, Your Honor, I mean " "I said: 'Don't do it again!" repeated the judge with a twinkle in his eye. Then lowering his voice he whispered: "You see I come from Livornia, and I've known Andrew for a long time." As Tutt guided the Appleboys out into the corridor the party came face to face with Mr. and Mrs. Tunnygate. "Huh!" sneered Tunnygate. "Huh!" retorted Appleboy.
