“What a good idea! It’s simply perfect! I wonder whom I could get to do it for me?”
“Why, Dan could do it with his jackknife, just as well as not. If you’ll come to-morrow morning you shall have them.”
Accordingly, the next morning, the young lady appeared, and was enchanted with her prize.
“And how much will they be?” she asked.
“Well, I had thought of charging twenty-five cents for an idea, and the dice didn’t cost us anything and only took a few minutes to make.”
“Supposing we call it a dollar. Would that be fair?”
“I don’t believe they are worth a dollar.”
“Yes, they are; I should be ashamed to take them for less. What a splendid 164 idea that was of yours, to put out that sign!”
“I should think it was, if I could get any more customers like you!”
“I’ll send them to you,—never you fear!”
