“More than four or five dollars a week!”
“Yes, sir.”

“Yes, sir, every week—and more than twice five dollars, too,” went on Frank, with just a bit of triumph in his tone.
“You don’t say so! Maybe you’re joking me?”
“No, sir; I am telling you the truth.”
“Do you mean to say you can make ten dollars a week steady selling books?”
“I have made more than that since I started. Of course, some weeks I fell behind a little, but the average is above that figure, and some weeks I made big money.”
“How big?” asked Mr. Glasby, faintly.
