"Ja voll," assented Mamma Schnitt heartily, and toddled away to get it.
"I'll fix it for you," offered Johnny. "You go to Ersten and say you will come back; then Ersten will get a new place before you start to work."
Heinrich straightened up with alacrity this time, his face fairly shining with pleasure.
"I do that much," he agreed.
"Good!" approved Johnny. "You want to be careful what you say, though, for Ersten is stubborn."
"He is stubborn like a mule," Schnitt pointed out with sober gravity.
"You must say you have come back to work in that place."
"I'll never do it!" indignantly declared Heinrich, his face lengthening.
"Certainly not," agreed Johnny hurriedly. "You tell him you want a month to rest up your eyes."
"I don't need it!" protested Heinrich.
