“Let me see it. How much did it cost?”
“A hundred dollars, besides the chain.”
“Gosh! Ain’t that a sight of money! Did you spend all your money on it?”
“No, I bought a chain too.”
“To my mind you was very foolish to spend all your hard earnin’s that way! There’s no fool like a young fool,” said Mrs. Fox severely.
“But, Mrs. Fox, I have some money left.”
“How much?” asked Joel eagerly.
“Seven thousand dollars.”
“Gosh all Jerusalem! you ain’t yarnin’, be you? Seven thousand dollars!”
