It was painted green, not as bright as if the colour had just been laid on, but sufficiently so to satisfy him regarding the supposed "luck," and quite as roomy inside as Teddy had stated.
The only apparent drawback was regarding the business location, for it was a short distance off the regular line of travel, and this fact Master Carrots noted at once.
"That's so," Teddy replied, when the objections were stated; "and I thought about all that while I was comin' down to tell you. It seems to me as if we might get up a good trade 'round among these stores, by 'greein' to bring the papers just as soon as they was out, an', with three of us to pitch in, we could live right up to all our promises. As I said before, we've got to work a good deal harder than we've been doin'."
"It doesn't seem to me as if we could do that. I've been humpin' myself the best I knew how the last two days."
"That's so, Carrots; but you could run 'round a little more, I reckon, if by doin' it we was to own a stand right away."
"Oh, I'm willin' to go in, an' you shall be the boss."
"Then we'll buy it," Teddy said, decidedly. "I've got to rush down after the money."
"Did you leave it under the boxes?"
"Yes, I didn't want to lug it 'round all day."
"But I thought we'd 'greed not to go back."
