Fair. I worked (German, mostly) Chapter 6 (20 in all) all morning + picked 2 qts. blackberries in the afternoon. + sold them immediately - a man called for them before I could get to the houses!! I have 40¢ more (they (boxes) were really heaping) giving me &5.60!!! Brian McDonald plays with Billy Brian!!

5.20 + .40 = $5.60
