The man took it, turned it over to examine both sides, and took down a box.
"Four yards, did you say?"
"Yes," said Dimple.
He measured it off, saying, "Don't you want some cards? We have some just in with a lot of goods."
"I would rather have a box," said Dimple; "for I have a new doll, and I want it to put her sashes in."
"You don't object to having both, do you?" said he. "Suppose I put the cards in the box. How would that do?"
"Oh, that would be very nice," said Dimple; "you are very kind."
As he went off, she turned to Florence and said in a low tone, "I didn't like to ask him for two boxes, but I will give you the cards."
"No matter," said Florence. "I don't care very much for a box."
However, when the man returned he had two boxes with four pretty cards in each.
