Dotty had gone to the store, after dinner, with two ten-cent pieces in her porte-monnaie.

She had bought for herself some jujube paste, but in returning had lost the other dime.
"Grandma, do you think that is fair ?" said Prudy.

"She has lost my money, but she doesn't care at all; only laughs.

I was going to put it with some more I had, and buy mother a collar." "No, it is not right," replied grandma.
