"All right again," he said, coming up to the counter and offering his hand. "Singing at your work, as of old! This is better than playing the gentleman, or even keeping a grocery-store." "Oh, yes, a thousand times better," the hatter replied warmly. "I am now in my right place." "Performing your true use to the community, and happier in doing so." "I shall be happier, I am sure.
