"If you please," replied Betty; and she put the turnovers, as she called the puffs, into a little basket, with two large slices of bread and two cans of milk, and put the basket into Emily's hands. "You have made beautiful ears and eyes to the turnovers, Betty," said Henry; "I always call them pigs when they are made in that way."
This building had been for some years used exclusively as a mud-bakery by the boys; it was piled with those clay turnovers and rolls and pies in whose manufacture the most select circles of Andover youth delighted. But the bakery was metamorphosed into a decent, dear little room, about nine by eleven, and commanding the sun on the four sides of its quadrangle.
Maybe I'll see your grandpa as he comes back from the post-office." And so, well content, Marian sped forth to join the girls who were waiting. "Are you going?" they asked. "You didn't have to go home, did you?" "No, Mrs. Hunt put up a lunch for me. She is always so very kind." "What have you got?" asked Marjorie eagerly. "Three sandwiches, ham ones, and six cookies, two turnovers and an apple."
When the period of post-wartime inflation came upon this country specialized thievery marched abreast with legitimate enterprise; with it as with the other, rewards became tremendously larger; small turnovers were regarded as puny and contemptible, and operators thought in terms of pyramiding thousands of dollars where before they had been glad to strive for speculative returns of hundreds.
There was a long silence while tea was passed and the turnovers were pronounced upon by the acquisition that is more eloquent than words. But after Elihu had finished his fifth and last, he pushed his cup away with solemn satisfaction and asked his wife across the table: "What's that packin'-case out in the front entry?"

Tom gave all the buns to the dragon, saying: "Here, try to eat a little.
And she made no reply when Letty, prompted by a tardy conscience, stopped in the barn doorway and called to her, "Tell Sammy I'm much obliged. Tell him I shall make turnovers to-morrow." Debby was thinking of the pork, and the likelihood of its being properly diversified. Letty swept into the barn like a hurrying wind.
Little Andy stared unbelievingly. "They's baking turnovers and things. She gave me a cooky with a crinkled edge. 'Twas good, too, you bet." "You tell 'em I'll be busy." Jerry pushed past Andy and entered the house. He was astonished at the turmoil of his spirit. "Wish she'd let me alone," he said fiercely. "I'm not bothering her none. I don't see why she can't leave me be."
And as one day has very nearly killed me, what would a year of it do? If there is any fear of what you wish for, I'd best go back at once." "What! and lose the trout, and the game pie, and the steak and onions, and the fried potatoes, and the apple turnovers, and the plum puffs, to say nothing of the most delicious lollypops you have ever tasted in your life?
Roy's spirit, indeed, seemed to pass into his cookery and give it a flavor all its own. His bacon sizzled with joy. His coffee bubbled over with mirth. His turnovers wore a scout smile. His baked potatoes had his own twinkle in their eyes. His dumplings were indented with merry dimples like those in his own cheeks. The morning after their arrival they set to work in real earnest.
