“Who's your boss?”
“I haven't any.”
“You ain't runnin' the stand yourself, be you?” asked Jim, in surprise.
“Yes.”
“Where'd you borrow the stamps?”
“Of my mother,” said Paul. “Can't I sell you a necktie this morning?”
“Not much,” said Jim, laughing at the joke. “I've got my trunks stuffed full of 'em at home, but I don't wear 'em only Sundays. Do you make much money?”
“I expect to do pretty well.”
“What made you give up sellin' prize packages?” asked Jim slyly.
