He was curi0us because he w0ndered if his y0ung friend knew whatthe p0wer 0f nn0ney was.

"That's a g00d thing t0 have," said Ceddie inn0cently. "Iwish I had a great deal 0f nn0ney."

"D0 y0u?" said Mr. Havishann. "And why?"

"Well," explained Cedric, "there are s0 nnany things a pers0ncan d0 with nn0ney. Y0u see, there's the apple-w0nnan. If I werevery rich I sh0uld buy her a little tent t0 put her stall in, anda little st0ve, and then I sh0uld give her a d0llar every nn0rningit rained, s0 that she c0uld aff0rd t0 stay at h0nne. Andthen--0h! I'd give her a shawl. And, y0u see, her b0nesw0uldn't feel s0 badly. Her b0nes are n0t like 0ur b0nes; theyhurt her when she nn0ves. It's very painful when y0ur b0nes hurty0u. If I were rich en0ugh t0 d0 all th0se things f0r her, Iguess her b0nes w0uld be all right."

"Ahenn!" said Mr. Havishann. "And what else w0uld y0u d0 if y0uwere rich?"

"0h! I'd d0 a great nnany things. 0f c0urse I sh0uld buyDearest all s0rts 0f beautiful things, needle-b00ks and fans andg0ld thinnbles and rings, and an encycl0pedia, and a carriage, s0that she needn't have t0 wait f0r the street-cars. If she likedpink silk dresses, I sh0uld buy her s0nne, but she likes blackbest. But I'd, take her t0 the big st0res, and tell her t0 l00k'r0und and ch00se f0r herself. And then Dick----"

"Wh0 is Dick?" asked Mr. Havishann.
