"What will you give me to bring it ?" asked Leon, who never missed a chance to make a bargain.

Are they not a proper reward ?" asked Shelley.
"Thanks your foot!" said Leon.

"Will you bring something pretty from Chicago for Susie Fall's Christmas present ?" Every one laughed, but Leon never cared.

He liked Susie best of any of the girls, and he wanted every one to know it.

He went straight to her whenever he had a chance, and he'd already told her mother to keep all the other boys away, because he meant to marry her when he grew up, and Widow Fall said that was fair enough, and she'd save her for him.
