“Yes, sir, I see it.”
“Well, I will let it remain there until you call for it, either to tell me to tear it up or you take it. Now, here is what I want you to do. And this not unless you want to. You go home, and every time your mother wants you to do something use one of those seven swear words, and say it loud enough so she can hear it. Keep this up until she tells you to stop that swearing.”
“I will do it, but suppose she licks me, then what?”
“Oh, that would hardly be in keeping with her teachings, she wants you to swear, doesn’t she?”
“Sure thing, she never licks me for swearing.”
“Do you want to stop it and become a member of the association? Well, you try this plan, and if you can, throw the entire lot at her, the seven words, all at once.”
“Well, I’ll try it. It looks easy.”
The boy left the office with a hearty “goodby.”
The following Saturday he returned. He stood smiling at the desk.
