as_o when_o hoard_v the_o space_n of_o a_o month_n so_o six_o week_n and_o if_o they_o contract_v any_o unpleasing_a taste_n as_o sometime_o it_o be_v confess_v they_o do_v it_o may_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o room_n they_o lie_v in_o which_o if_o it_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o of_o either_o too_o sweet_a or_o unsavoury_a smell_n the_o apple_n as_o thing_n most_o susceptible_a of_o impression_n will_v be_v easy_o taint_v thereby_o one_o of_o my_o acquaintance_n when_o a_o child_n hoard_v apple_n in_o a_o box_n where_o rose-cake_n and_o other_o sweet_n be_v their_o companion_n find_v they_o of_o so_o unsavoury_a taste_n and_o of_o so_o rank_a a_o relish_n derive_v from_o the_o too_o near_a neighbourhood_n of_o the_o perfume_n that_o even_o a_o childish_a palate_n which_o seldom_o mislike_v any_o thing_n that_o look_v like_o a_o apple_n can_v not_o dispense_v with_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v therefore_o observe_v by_o prudent_a fruiterer_n to_o lay_v their_o apple_n upon_o

before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o cider-press_a the_o damage_n will_v not_o be_v great_a if_o care_n be_v have_v before_o the_o apple_n be_v ground_n to_o pick_v out_o the_o finnew_v and_o the_o
