[Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders]@TWC D-Link bookBeautiful Joe CHAPTER XXXII OUR RETURN HOME 15/17
Enormous red ones, and long, yellow ones that they called pippins, and little brown ones, and smooth-coated sweet ones, and bright red ones, and others, more than I could mention.
Miss Laura often pared one and cut off little bits for me, for I always wanted to eat whatever I saw her eating. Just a few days after this, Miss Laura and I returned to Fairport, and some of Mr.Wood's apples traveled along with us, for he sent a good many to the Boston market.
Mr.and Mrs.Wood came to the station to see us off.
Mr.Harry could not come, for he had left Riverdale the day before to go back to his college.
Mrs.Wood said that she would be very lonely without her two young people, and she kissed Miss Laura over and over again, and made her promise to come back again the next summer. I was put in a box in the express car, and Mr.Wood told the agent that if he knew what was good for him he would speak to me occasionally for I was a very knowing dog, and if he didn't treat me well, I'd be apt to write him up in the newspapers.
