Henderson's, he would be satisfied so I got him four half pound plugs. I paid up two or three small accounts around town as I felt mighty affluent when I stuffed $65.00 into my pocket after having been broke or nearly so for so long. When I finally got down to Auntys it was after twelve and Dad. was having dinner with them so I sat right down too.
