"I wish we had something to boil eggs in," said he, as he set the kettle of water down by Jimmy, who was whittling shavings for the fire. "What's the matter with the old tin bucket we use for bailing the skiff?" Jimmy suggested. "I don't believe it leaks enough to hurt." "That's so!" said Bobby. "We can boil 'em in that."
Smith has joined me, and as he does all the indoor medical work, I am still less busy, and so I can write you more at leisure than usual. 'The rain reached a climax on Saturday night, July 19. Till then, roofs and walls held out well. There were leaks in places, but nothing serious. We thought it had cleared off. Not a bit of it.

The O'Callahan was about in his institution, looking for leaks. "I want it straight," said the Kid to him. "The old woman has got a hunch that she wants a peach. Now, if you've got a peach, Cal, get it out quick. I want it and others like it if you've got 'em in plural quantities." "The house is yours," said O'Callahan. "But there's no peach in it. It's too soon.
