'Blest if I don't.' I guess it's a swear, 'cause he said I mustn't tell Mrs.Upjohn he said so, not to the longest day I lived.

The longest day won't come now till next year, the twenty-first of June.

That's the longest day, ain't it?
Mr.Halloway taught me that.

My, don't he know a lot! I'm going to be like him when I'm a man.

That's who I'm going to be like.
