What are you thinking about, Cousin Molly?

Apple trees,

Oh, are you especially fond of apple trees? I must show you the orchard over this hill. It is in bloom and a very beautiful sight. Not much to look at unless it is in bloom, however,

I must not let the steward see me do such a thing. The old man would count the blossoms and tell me I had spoiled so many apples.

Molly, this is _your_ orchard home.

Cousin Molly! Molly, dearest Molly! I have longed for this moment as I want to tell you how much I am gratified that you like _Roche Craie_. The place means so much to my mother and father and to me that we are happy when any one likes it, but for you of all persons to be pleased with it, adds to its value in our eyes. We all of us want you to make your home here. I know it would be more convenable for me to address your mother first, but since I am half American you will pardon me if I let that half speak to you, and later on the French half can arrange with your charming mother.
