Big, beautiful apples hung there day after day, and nobody ever seemed to think of such a thing as taking one off. Aunt Grenertsen might, for instance, so easily say to old Katrina, her housemaid: “Shake down an apple or two for Johnny Blossom”; but no indeed! Far from it. Never in the world had she suggested anything of the kind, although he had been in there every single day since the apples had begun to turn.,"No, it is of no use: it only wearies me. My best medicine, my only medicine, is here," returns Paul, feebly pressing Mona's hand. He is answering the doctor, but he does not look at him. As he speaks, his gaze is riveted upon Mona.,"What makes you think so?"，"Dat's so. But I take care ob you. Now get to de kitchen; dere am food for you."，"'Gimme the money,' says Johnston.，"You are sure of that?" demanded Jen, anxiously."Well," said Jen, seeing that the man spoke in all good faith, "the body of Mr. Maurice was stolen on that night."
