"Yes, ma'am. Norton took me there."
"And you got your boots, such as you wanted?"
"I got them—I believe so. They are narrow toes."
"Was that what you wanted?" said Mrs. Laval smiling.
"I could have got broad toed boots for a good deal less, but he said they were out of fashion; they were last year's style."
"Yes, he knows," said Mrs. Laval. "Of course he knows, for he makes them."
"Don't other people know?"
"I suppose so," said Mrs. Laval; "but really I never think about it. I take what he gives me and am sure it is all right. That is the comfort of going to Laddler."
"But wouldn't you have found it out, if I had got the square toes?"
"I might have found it out," said Mrs. Laval laughing, "but I should not have known it was wrong. I should have taken it for the last style."
