"Now, THAT'S something like!" exclaimed Marjorie, as they reached
the road again. "Wasn't she lovely? And to think, she said we ought to ask more money for the extract! This is a splendid business." "Fine!" agreed Molly; "we'll sell off all this to-day, and to- morrow we'll make another lot and sell that. We'll get lots of money for the Dunns." "We'll make more next time," said Midge, "and I'll get Carter to drive us round so we won't have to carry it; for we may sell two or three hundred bottles every day." "But I can't make so many labels," said Stella, aghast at the outlook. "Of course you can't," said Molly; "but I'll tell you what! We'll ask them to give the bottles back as soon as they've emptied them, and then we can use them over again, you know." Midge was a little dubious about asking for the bottles back, but just then they turned into the next house. It was Marjorie's turn to speak, and greatly encouraged by their late success, she began: "Would you like to buy some pennyroyal extract? For mosquitoes, burns, and bruises. It's only fifty cents a bottle, and we'll take the bottles back." The lady, who had opened the door, looked at the children as if they were escaped lunatics. |
