Read a passage
"BUT this is such a little matter, Lucy,—only a dollar!"
"Whether it is little or much does not signify, so long as I cannot afford it," was the reply, and the speaker laid down the pretty set of tablets she held in her hands, and turned to look at something else.
"I think you are very foolish," continued the first speaker. "They are the prettiest I ever saw, and very cheap. Janet Graves paid twice as much for hers, and they are no better. Come, Lucy, be advised, and take a set."
"If you have no money with you, it is of no consequence," observed the polite shopman; "you can easily hand it to me another time; and, as the young lady observed, these are really superior articles."
Lucy's determination, however, was not to be moved, and her companion turned from her, and addressed herself to another young lady, who was also examining the tablets.
"Well, Emily, have you found a set to suit you?"
"I like these very well," replied Emily, in rather an undecided tone; "but I have no money with me."
"That need make no difference," said the person in attendance; "I can add it to the bill."
