It was time for me to think about getting home.

So I said, 'Well, ma'am, I suppose you must take them, but it leaves me only a mere trifle for my profit.' A servant standing by took the fish, and the lady handed me a quarter, and held out her hand for the change.

I first put into it a five cent piece.

She continued holding it out, until I searched about in ny pocket for a penny.

This I next placed in her hand.
