'' I guess it was about four o'clock , and I was tryin ' to take a snooze in a hammock on the front porch , when I hears the twins makin ' life miserable for the gard ` ner that was fixin ' the rose bushes . `` Lem me dig , Pat , '' says Jill . `` G'wan , ye young tarrier ! '' says Pat `` Ca n't I help some ? ''
