APPLE-BOBBING
"When I was in England, my uncle and aunt gave a huge party for the children of our village. It was held in a hall which was decorated with paper pumpkins with faces painted on them, witches on broomsticks, black cats, and all the other symbols of Hallowe'en. Altogether it was a very jolly affair. What I enjoyed most was the apple-bobbing. We had our hands tied behind our backs and tried to bite the sticky apples. They swung round as we bit them, and unless we were very careful they banged into our faces, leaving us hot, sticky, and occasionally angry."
"GREY OWL" (14).
