" costly wares are only to be seen by day , " said he , " they are not drifting about the street so early . it will probably cost me enough as it is , for what i find is a matter of purest chance .

" are you back already , master ? " asked the youth . " yes , indeed , " said his master . " and what have you bought ? " asked the youth . " what i have bought is nothing so very rare , " said the man . " i do n't even know whether i ought to show it to you ; but i bought the first thing to be had , and that was a pup , " said he .
