I'll try and be as good as I can, but you don't know what this place is.

It's very different to the farm.
Do you remember the row about that book Horace Simpson got?
I wish you could see the books the boys have here.

At least I don't wish it, for I wish I didn't look at them, the milkman brings them; he always will if you can pay him.

When I saw old Snuffy find one in Smith's desk, I expected he would half kill him, but he didn't do much to him, he only took the book away; and Lorraine says he never does beat them much for that, because he doesn't want them to leave off buying them, because he wants them himself.

Don't tell the Woods this.
