Saturday noon before
Before noon he was at B -- again , as busy as ever in driving his business . The experience of the former week was of great value to him . He visited people belonging to all spheres in society , and , though he was occasionally repulsed or treated with incivility , he was not conscious in a single instance of offending any person 's sense of propriety . He was not as fortunate as during the previous week , and it was Saturday noon before he had sold out the sixty books he carried with him . The net profit for this week was fourteen dollars , with which he was abundantly pleased . Mr. Bayard again commended him in the warmest terms for his zeal and promptness . Mr. Timmins was even more civil than the last time , and when Bobby asked the price of Moore 's Poems , he actually offered to sell it to him for thirty-three per cent .
