“That must’ve been some job. I wish we had been here to do it, don’t you, Mr. Whitney?” The merchant, having drunk his chocolate, went out to find his horse; as he passed under a bower of roses, he remembered that Beauty had asked him to bring her one, and he plucked a branch on which several were growing. He had scarcely done so, when he heard a loud roar, and saw coming towards him a Beast, of such a horrible aspect, that he nearly fainted. "You are very ungrateful," said the Beast in a terrible voice; "I received you into my castle, and saved your life, and now you steal my roses, which I care for more than anything else in the world.

“I think you’re right,” put in Jerry. “There ought to be nothing but the United States between Canada and the Panama Canal. But I don’t think we’ll go into Mexico unless the Mexicans raid our territory and kill somebody.”

So Johnny Blossom repeated the little prayers he had said every night since he was two years old, and was soon sleeping peacefully. “But poor Auntie! Do you mean to say she had only eight apples for herself? And she so fond of them too! How in the world could that happen when there was so much fruit on the tree?” “I hope so,” Bob answered. “Won’t you?” “Yes, there’s a trail but there’s nothing much down there anyway.” This from Jerry in an unenthusiastic tone..
