Thanks Muchly !
We regard Mr H. E. Sharp, the well-known orchardist, as a model subscriber. He is a great admirer of the Observer (which — ahem !— of course stamps him as a man of taste), always pays in advance, and rarely visits town without leaving a basket of apples for the use of the staff. We don't know the name of these apples. They might be ' Maiden's Blushes,' for they are rosy red, milk white within, and of delicious flavour. They are very greatly appreciated by the staff — literary and typographical— and Mr Sharp is voted by all hands in the office a jolly good fellow.
By way of showing their gratitude, the sweet girl coinps. talk of paying a surprise visit "to Mr Sharp's orchard at Waikomiti at an early date.
