Lousy fundraiser if yeh asked him. But th' only thing anybody was asking Saul was whether or not he wanted their ashwinder eggs. Hmmhmm.
"I only need th' one jar," he mumbled. Saul held his wallet firmly in one hand and picked up one of the girl's jars with th' other. "Hmm." Ten galleons fer this!
But maybe he didn't need to spend ten whole galleons. "Seven galleons fer two," Saul repeated, setting the first girl's jar down with a thud. "Well I'll be, lil ladeh, is that a square deal?"
He spat in his empty hand and held it out fer her t' shake.
"Sorreh, son," Saul used his wallet-holdin' hand ter tip his hat toward the lil' boy, "but I think I've got me a bargain here, wit this 'un." He nodded toward Beezus.
Twitch.
Why did everyone want to buy a whole jar. It worked out crudily for her when they decided to be smart about it. Really, with her, it cost less to buy the entire thing but really, she never thought many people would want the WHOLE jar.
Here this man was proving her wrong--
STOP!!!
STOP
STOP STOP
Was it just her or was Bee like TOTALLY RUINING her sale??? Um. NO.
"Excuse me Sir." Because this was just a NO. It was no longer about the galleons she earned but the principle behind it. Namely, she saw him FIRST. Besides, she
unfortunately had a more reasonable price.
"But that's not really a deal she's offering." Nope nope nope.
"She'll give you two for 7 galleons but I'm required to sell the jar for 5. Think about it Mister, you'd get 5 of 'em for 2 galleons less than what you would have paid for only two."
For once she didn't mind abiding by these sales rules. Not if it got HER the customer.
"So what'd you say? You want 'em?"
