"That is all the good it will do them," replied Moore, cheerfully, regarding his feet with no little amount of approval.
"Hi knows, sir, but you never breaks your word, sir, hand you promised to pay--"
"When did I say I 'd pay, Buster?"
"When you tried on the other boot, sir."
"Well, that is a simple matter, lad. I won't try the other boot on."
"Won't yer?"
"Not I, and they will have a nice easy time making me against my will."
"Hi sees, Mr. Moore," cried the boy, delighted at the discovery of a means of discomfiting the cobbler without breaking a promise.
Moore sighed.
