The experiment, therefore was regarded as a successful one.

The next day several other girls, who had heard of Katy's plan, came to the house, and wanted to be engaged.

The little merchant could not supply them, but promised, if they would come the next day, to furnish them with a stock.

Even now, the quantity manufactured required the services of Mrs.Colvin for three hours, and this day she engaged her to come immediately after dinner.
I need not detail the manner in which Katy's trade kept increasing.

In a fortnight she had more than a dozen girls employed in selling candy.
She was actually making a wholesale business of it, and no longer traveled about the streets herself.
