다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

OLD Squire Norris prided himself not a little on his apple-orchards; not without reason, indeed, for none fairer could be found in the whole country-side. There was the great one up on the hill, where hung huge pippins and "emperors;" the lot behind the house yielding annually so many bushels for the cider-mill; the rows of russets, whose rusty, gold-freckled skins rounded over a mellow pulp, for richness of favor unequalled throughout the neighborhood; and, last, though not least, a field which could boast almost every variety of apple, from the juicy summer-sweet, to the red-checked Baldwins, which, by all the long, hot days, must be packed away through the winter, to ripen for later use.
