"Well, now, I'll tell you what I'll do I'll give you the whole bunch if you'll let me come into the house and write a letter to Elma, and if you'll further faithfully promise that you will give it to her the instant she comes home." "To be sure I will, miss. Come right along in. Oh, what a beautiful young lady you is!"
