"I am going into business, and I expect to make a great deal of money." "Are you, indeed ?" replied Mrs.Redburn, smiling at the enthusiasm of her daughter.
"I am; and you must not be angry with me, or object very much to my plan." "Well, what is your plan ?" "I am going to sell candy," said Katy, pausing to notice the effect of this startling declaration.

"You know what nice molasses candy you used to make for me.

Mrs.Sneed and Mrs.Colvin said a great many times that it was a good deal better than they could buy at the shops." "But, child, I am not able to make candy now.

I cannot get off my bed." "I will make it; you shall lay there and tell me how.

I am sure I can make it." "It is very hard work to pull it." "I won't mind that." "Suppose you can make it, how will you sell it ?" asked Mrs.Redburn, casting an anxious glance at the enthusiastic little girl.
"O, I shall take a box, and offer it to the folks that pass along the streets." "Are you crazy, Katy ?" exclaimed the mother, raising her head on the bed.
