"If they hadn't broken the glass I might not have heard them calling," said the drygoods merchant. "Oh, well, I guess you couldn't help it; and a broken window won't cost much to fix," said the old carpenter. "I'm sorry you had all that trouble, and I'm glad you're neither of you cut. IF THEY HADN'T BROKEN THE GLASS I MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD THEM CALLING SAID THE DRY GOODS MERCHANT OH WELL I GUESS YOU COULDN'T HELP IT AND A BROKEN WINDOW WON'T COST MUCH TO FIX SAID THE OLD CARPENTER I'M SORRY YOU HAD ALL THAT TROUBLE AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE NEITHER OF YOU CUT
ey, I heard somebody run into my shop, and, quick as I could, I ran out, pulled the door shut, and locked 'em in. I supposed it was some of those pesky boys, and I was going to keep 'em locked up until I could go get their fathers and tell 'em how they pester me. I didn't have a notion, Bunny, that it was you and Sue, or I'd never have done such a thing--never!" Mr. Brown often hired Mr. Foswick to do carpentry, and the rather crabbed and cross old man did not want to offend a good customer. "I'm very sorry about this thing I did, Bunny and Sue," went on Mr. Foswick. "I'd no idea it was you I'd locked up. I supposed it was those pesky boys. Both doors were locked--I made sure of that--and the windows were nailed shut. I keep 'em shut so nobody can get in at night." "Bunny tried to open one of the windows with a hammer," said Sue. "And I--I guess I broke it--I mean the window," said Bunny. "I didn't mean to." "Oh, broke a window, did you?" exclaimed Mr. Foswick, and he seemed surprised.
