You know, Pell Mell, the Mantons will bring barrels of things to eat, so why should we make samples of our miserable home-cooking failures?
gpt
They will bring the lunch, that is, The Lunch, but what about a little four o'clock snack? There are silver springs out there with water cress on the cob, and I know our girls are never loath to nibble a bite or two when out on location,

Is Nora going to be inducted?
gpt
Yes, we had a letter today and Becky told us we would have a business meeting Wednesday, when your precious Babe Nora will be led to the stake. She will accept the halter of allegiance to Pell, Betta and the rest of the mob----

If you feel so frisky, Pell, I wish you would work off some of the extra on this tin can. I am supposed to open it with a souvenir trick can opener. I am sure Betta brought it from the state fair, B. C. 150. It has all the ear marks of antiquity without any of the teeth,

gpt
I fancy between the two of them they have fixed it up about the prince. Shouldn't be a bit surprised if they invited him to the picnic.
human
Now, remember, ordered Wyn,
gpt
Not to Alma, answered Treble.
human
She certainly had a vision if she did not see a prince. Here she comes. Look at the bundles! Land sakes alive! If it's more grub I'm going to duck. My fingers are mooing now from spreading butter,
