| Before the busy merchant
Stood pretty little Bess. "I want some cloff for dollie, Enough to make a dwess." "What color? little lady!" The pleasant dealer said. "Why, don't you know?" she answered, "I want it awful red." He smiled and cut the fabric For the delighted Miss. "What does it cost ?" she ques- tioned. He answered, "Just one kiss." And then the clerks who heard her Went roaring up and down. "My Dran'ma said she'd pay you Next time she tomes up town." __Harry Edward Mills. |
