Chapter VI
Lucy's adventure had so taken up the attention of them both that they had forgotten all about the matter of the stock. Afterwards, however, Montague mentioned it, and Lucy exclaimed indignantly at the smallness of the offer. “That is only ten cents on the dollar!” she cried. “You surely would not advise me to sell for that!” “No, I should not,” he answered.
