“We’re in for it again,” yelled Jerry to Bob, who was rowing. “Back water—hard!” “I hadn’t supposed great strength was necessary to pick a few apples.” “Lost him,” reported Ted. “Clumsy fool I am!” “Thought I was drowned, did you?” said Johnny Blossom loftily. “It never entered my head till afterwards that any one could get drowned sitting on the big red pear, you know.
