Worse never liked anybody to allude to the shop; he considered that he was far too respectable a man of business for anything of the sort. He used to say that it was mostly for old Samuelsen's sake, that he kept the little shop going; it could have no importance in a concern like his. Mrs. Worse had also believed this story; but that afternoon she learnt to think otherwise.
Boys and girls all assembled, the more the merrier, generally in the dusk of the evening, and sneaked quietly down into the alley at the back of the Worses' house, and when they got under Samuelsen's shop-window, they began singing, to a well-known air "Little Pitter Nilken, Sitting on his chair! He's always growing smaller, The longer he sits there."
It was quite clear to her, after hearing Mr. Samuelsen's figures and calculations, that the shop was not at all to be despised, and she came at last to perceive that this was what had really so long kept everything going. The two sat over their figures far into the night. At first comprehension seemed quite hopeless to Mrs. Worse.
