〃Thats right! And you bein a friend; you make it Dick。〃
As he led them into the far corner; Jack and Wendy exchanged a puzzled glance;
both of them trying to remember if Hallorann had told them his first name。
〃And this here I put in special;〃 Hallorann said。 〃Hope you folks enjoy it。〃
〃Oh really; you shouldnt have;〃 Wendy said; touched。 It was a twenty…pound
turkey wrapped in a wide scarlet ribbon with a bow on top。
〃You got to have your turkey on Thanksgiving; Wendy;〃 Hallorann said gravely。
〃I believe theres a capon back here somewhere for Christmas。 Doubtless youll
stumble on it。 Lets e on out of here now before we all catch the peenumonia。
