It was several minutes before Prescott turned around again. When he did there was a furious glare in his eyes. "Greg, old chum! This is no joke. You heard Unwine. He was delivering an official order, not carrying an April-fool package." "Well, then, what does it all mean?" demanded Greg stolidly, for he began to feel dazed.
"Somebody thinks this is April-fool Day, I guess." "Have patience for a leetle minute, please," said the man, as he cast away the packing bit by bit. The children watched him with eager interest. By and by he took out a little bunch of lilies of the valley, which he handed to Abby with a low bow. Next he came to something shrouded in fold after fold of tissue-paper.
But I still believe, thy red-coated courier will not be found in the circle of created beings, and good Bertrand will have been made a little bit of an April-fool by his general, in order to afford some innocent amusement to the bridal pair. If it's not all a humbug, well and good, more must be said about it when an opportunity occurs."
The urchins in the street make a sport of calling to some passing beau to look to his coat-skirts; when he either finds them with a piece of paper pinned to them or not; in either of which cases he is saluted as an 'April-fool!"

"You can't April-fool me that easy," she said in a superior-sounding way that irritated Jerry. Lately he and his twin often irritated each other.
After a moment's silence, the blacksmith raised his head; his countenance resumed its serenity; and laughing, he said: "Reassure yourself, good Mother Bunch, these jokers have made a mistake by trying their games on me. It is plainly an attempt at making an April-fool of me before the time."
In high dudgeon, full of fire and fury, back rushed the knight, sore under the sense of having been made an April-fool of in July; for no one in the place whereto he went, had ever heard of a widow'd Countess of Lancing; and her ladyship's acres, if any where at all, were undoubtedly not in the North Riding.
Edward Maynard wants advice and assistance from Nobody! Well, I guess that's right, Father, but it all sounds to me like an April Fool joke. Come on, Midget." As the two children skipped away, King said, thoughtfully, "What does it all mean, Mops?" "I dunno, King. But it means something. It isn't a wild-goose chase, or an April-fool sort of joke.
