“ I should hope I did，” replied the lad.

“ An intelligent boy！” said Scrooge. “ A remarkable boy！Do you know whether they’ve sold the prize turkey that was hanging up there ？ —Not the little prize turkey：the big one ？ ”

“ What，the one as big as me ？ ” returned the boy.

“ What a delightful boy！” said Scrooge. “ It’s a pleasure to talk to him. Yes，my buck！”

“ It’s hanging there now，” replied the boy.

“ Is it ？ ” said Scrooge. “ Go and buy it.”

“ Walk-ER！” exclaimed the boy.

“No，no，” said Scrooge，“ I am in earnest. Go and buy it，and tell ’em to bring it here，that I may give them the direction where to take it Come back with the man，and I’ll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes，and I’ll give you half a crown！”

The boy was off like a shot. He must have had a steady hand at a trigger who could have got a shot off half so fast.
