"This is the seventh time he has died this year. But think of Misther Rodney here. Can't ye do something for him?"，But when Billy, dressed in his own suit, descended the stairs to peer cautiously out, it was to find the room deserted. Mrs. Wilson's voice, high-pitched and excited, came from the back yard.，"You will be very clever.

As he hurried along he encountered a branch which hung low and like a scalpel lifted the straw hat from the head of the astonished boy.It was a little farther to go home around past Aunt Grenertsen’s, but he didn’t mind that, for it was interesting to watch how the apples grew and to see whether Katrina had gathered any.
