There vvere many customers to be waited on
before us, so we stood together in a bunch at
the farthest end of the counter. The time
dragged on and on before tliey had all got their
lu-de-f.sk, for that was what they wanted, the
whole swarm of them.
On the counter heside me, there was a hig
new hall of string in an iron frame, the kind
that whirls around when you pull the string.
The end of the string dangled so invitingly
close to me, and waiting for Madam Graaberg
to he ready to attend to us was so tedious, that
I husied myself with taking the end of the
string and slvly tving it fast to one of the
but-tons on the back of Munda’s coat. Of course I
meant to untie the string before we went out,
but Madam Graaberg turned suddenly to us.
“ What do you want, children? ” asked she,
portly and dignified, towering over the counter.
We were all a little hewildered because she
had come to us so abruptly, but we pushed
Munda forward. Mv, how uneomfortable she
looked!
