Poor and Proud

CHAPTER XII
9/12

"I am going to keep this dollar for you, and perhaps some time you will not be so proud as you are now, though I hope you will always have all the money you want." "I think I shall, if my trade continues to be good," replied Katy, who, now that all her debts had been paid, felt a heavy load removed from her heart.
"You must bring your candy up here.

The mayor says it is very good.

I have a sweet tooth, and I will buy lots of it," added Grace.
"I will bring you up some to-morrow," replied Katy, moving towards the door, and casting a last glance at the mischievous lady in the picture.
"The mayor told me to ask you to call and see him again," said Mrs.
Gordon.

"He is very much interested in you." "He is very kind;" and she bade them good-by.
Katy felt highly honored by the notice the mayor had taken of her.

Like Master Simon Sneed, she felt almost like calling him her friend the mayor; but she resolved to call upon him on her way home.
