There will be lots and lots of yellow plums.”,So the hours passed. The two women had their quiet rest till five o’clock when they came down for the usual singing. May Nell had a sweet voice, surprisingly strong for a child; and when she asked to play her own accompaniment to a little song unknown to Edith, the latter was surprised by the child’s skill, and still more by her rare feeling and expression.,"I'm tired of your enigmas," he cried, angrily. "What is it you wish to tell me?",“Two million at least,” he answered. “In gallons that would be something around nine-hundred billion gallons.
