HELPING WEED THE PASTURE 157 



reached Tommy's house without seeing him and 

 then Tommy and Philip decided they would go 

 back in the afternoon and settle the bargain. 

 The boys said again that I wasn't really in the 

 bargain, and that the twenty-five cents for each 

 hundred that they were going to divide between 

 them wouldn't be half enough to buy cameras. 



I only had a few Daisies and Buttercups and 

 Black-eyed Susans in my basket, and they didn't 

 make a very big bouquet for the veranda. I think 

 the next time I weed the pasture I will go by 

 myself to Grandmother's back meadow. Sallie 

 wrote in her letter that she went quite alone.
