“又侍弄你的花儿啦,”他说,“它们今年长势好啊。”听到丈夫搭话,伊利莎直起身,顺手把那只手套又戴上:“对,今年长势会很好。”不管是言语中还是脸上都洋溢着得意。 “你干活儿很有一手,”亨利说,“你今年种的黄菊花中有的有十英寸那么大,真希望你去侍弄果园,也结出那么大的苹果来。”她的眼睛一亮。“或许我也能。我的确在种植方面有一手,我妈妈也是那样。她随便把什么东西往地下一插,就能活。她说是因为有了庄稼人的手才知道怎么去种植。”“嗯,种花也是这样的,”他说。“亨利,刚才同你说话的那些人是谁呀?”“啊,对了,我正要跟你说呢。他们是西部肉制品公司的。我把那三十头三岁的菜牛卖给他们,差不多是我要的价格。”

We'll go in town about five and have dinner at the Cominos Hotel. Like that?" "Of course I'll like it. It's good to eat away from home." "All right, then. I'll go get up a couple of horses." She said, "I'll have plenty of time to transplant some of these sets, I guess."
