In the farmyard a gigantic turkey-gobbler marched majestically with arched neck and spreading wings, feeling himself very much the king of the castle; good-natured ducks puddled contentedly in a trough of dirty water; pigeons, white winged and graceful, circled and wheeled in the sunshine; querulous-voiced hens strutted and scratched, and gossiped openly of mysterious nests hidden away.
When the querulous-voiced lady at length withdrew, Will was boiling over with rage. "Idiot!" he exclaimed, regardless of the fact that Allchin overheard him. "You see, sir," remarked the assistant. "It's just as I said; but I couldn't persuade you." Will held his lips tight and stared before him. "There'll be a net loss of ten pounds on that transaction," pursued Allchin.
Meanwhile, he had made one new acquaintance, which was at first merely a source of amusement to him, but little by little became something more. In the winter days, when his business was new, there one day came into the shop a rather sour-lipped and querulous-voiced lady, who after much discussion of prices, made a modest purchase and asked that the goods might be sent for her.
