I did n't see many of the folks eatin' oranges.

Where's the skins of 'em?
There ought to be six dozen orange-skins round on the plates, and there a'n't one dozen.

And all the small cakes, too, and all the sugar things that was stuck on the big cakes.

Has anybody counted the spoons?
Some of 'em got swallered, perhaps.

I hope they was plated ones, if they did!" The failure of the morning's orange-crop and the deficit in other expected residual delicacies were not very difficult to account for.
