Benjamin was very hungry, and he was considering how he could appease his hunger, when he met a boy who was eating a piece of bread. "That is what I want," he said to the boy; "where did you get that?" "Over there, at the bake-shop," the boy replied, pointing to it. "Thank you," and Benjamin hurried on. He had eaten nothing since he dined with the shop-woman in Burlington, on the day before.
No one would have guessed from it that she had not a shred of character to her back. The knowledge of this incontrovertible fact did not influence the demeanour of the shop-woman towards her. There was not better pay in the village, nor a more constant customer than Dinah Brome. In such circumstances, Mrs Littleproud was not the woman to throw stones.
That there could be no mistake, the cover was printed with colors in a German ideal of the star-spangled banner; and March said he always knew that we had a language of our own, and that now he was going in to buy that pamphlet and find out what it was like. He asked the young shop-woman how it differed from English, which she spoke fairly well from having lived eight years in Chicago.
Have that knife I must, however, and so I proposed to the shop-woman to take back the top and breastpin at a slight deduction, and with my eleven cents to let me have the knife. The kind creature consented, and this makes memorable my first 'swap. Some fine and nearly white molasses candy then caught my eye, and I proposed to trade the watch for its equivalent in candy.
Begging of Frank not to move, Willy went out on the landing and listened to his sisters talking to his wife. The girls who were, of course, ignorant of their relationship to the shop-woman liked Mrs.
The words were said in an undertone to Esther, and the shop-woman turned to get down the ready-made things which Mrs. Saunders had asked to see. "Here," said the shopwoman, "is the gown, longcloth, one-and-sixpence; here is the flannel, one-and-sixpence; and here is the little shirt, sixpence." "You must have these to go on with, dear, and if the baby lives you'll want another set."
When she found that Sophia wanted to match some worsteds, she and her shop-woman exchanged sympathetic glances Mrs Howell sighing, with her head on the right side, and Miss Miskin groaning, with her head on the left side. "Are you ill, Mrs Howell?" asked Sophia. "It shook me a little, I confess, ma'am, hearing that you wanted worsteds. We have no relief, ma'am, from ladies wanting worsteds."
"No, my dear, you would not make a good shop-woman, at least there are many who are better fitted for it than you; and it is my maxim that people should try to find out, and to do, only that which they are best fitted for. If they did we might not have so many cases of proud despair and ambitious failure in the world.

It was all the same to me, so I smilingly put the three louis in front of the young lady, who still had the ear-rings in her hands. The shop-woman, who was on the look-out, pocketed the money, saying that the bargain was made, that the three louis belonged to her and the ear-rings to the young lady. "You are a cheat," cried out the enraged old woman.
