"" The torch-light processions are five miles long, and they shoot up rockets, and the band plays!

I dare say she is of ancient linlenage. She is so old it would surprise you how she can stand up. She ’s a hundred, I should think, and yet she is out there when it rains, even. I’m sorry for her, and so are the other boys. Billy Williams once had nearly a dollar, and I asked him to buy five cents’ worth of apples from. her every day until he had spent it all. That “*I USED TO THINK I MIGHT PERHAPS BE A PRESIDENT, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT OF BEING AN EARL,’ SAID CEDDIE.”’
