"That is a great deal of money." "How much is it?" asked Rollo. "Why, in American money," said Maria, "it makes about two hundred dollars." "Two hundred dollars!" repeated Rollo, with astonishment.

"Never mind," said Judy, who believed that all difficulties could be surmounted in this line, "we will find something. How many pictures shall we have for 'Elaine, Anne?"
