"You didn't mean it.",“Sort of gets me,” was Jerry’s enthusiastic comment. “Somehow the thought of shady woods sounds mighty attractive after the dose of sun and desert I’ve had the last couple of years. How about you, Bob?”,"Good heavens!" cried Jen, recoiling. "What do you mean?",But Mrs. Wilson was not her old cheerful self; far from it. Wilson realized this fact as soon as he opened the door. She raised stern eyes to her husband as he entered.,"Bridget," says Mona, "will you go in and get me a cup of tea before I go to bed? I am tired.",There was Mother at the door again.,"Yes, papa.
