"He told me to tell you that he's got to turn his pigs into the orchard tomorrow an' that you an' the other people here might as well come an' gather up the apples on the ground if you want 'em.",“You will be very welcome, Jeremias,” said Johnny ceremoniously.,"How splendid!" said Patricia, glowing.
