“You bet,” Jerry said quickly. “Don’t you think he’s had enough, Boss Whitney?” No. Lars was firm. Johnny must go to the library. He was just sick and tired of seeing those apples in that good-for-nothing garden. Good-for-nothing it certainly was, and very, very old. There was only one apple tree besides the one Johnny was so interested in, but its fruit could scarcely be called apples at all.

Suddenly the maid Lisa appeared. Jerry, however, was not so pessimistic. “Oh, I’m not beaten yet. I think I’ve got a scheme that’ll work, although it means we won’t be dry again until we get out of the canyon.” "I give you half a quarter of an hour," answered Blue Beard, "not a minute more."
