Low on coin and low on time Anderson hustled as quickly as his legs would allow with his arms encumbered by a large crate. Huffing and puffing his hands slipped further along the bottom edges of either side of the wooden cube, his grip ever growing closer to sending the contents out across the cobblestone path. Close in tow, Tommy wove his way through the crowds of people with a small stool in hand. Tripping every so often, the boy gained a scraped knee and a tear to his trousers over the course of the journey to Canal Street, but his perseverance and hardy nature never let him shed a tear or complaint.
After a skidding halt, forced by Anderson’s inability to hold the awkwardly shaped package any further the two paused only to catch their breath. Doubled over with hands on knees they panted, arms raising almost in unison as if it had been rehearsed before to wipe their foreheads free of sweat.
With a grip around Tommy’s waist, Anderson swung the young boy up onto the stool positioned just off of the pathway. As the boy found his footing, Tommy wobbled with arms flailing aside at empty air before settling in to his stance. Then with hands cupping either side of his face the young peddler began to shout.
“Ladies and gentlemen, boys an’ girls, madames an’ misters! For what you need an’ what you don’t know you need Kask Brother’s is where you’ll need to be! From trinkets an’ amulets, to potions an’ protection, we’ve got it all in our magic box of mystery! Lies you say? Impossible, improbable? Slander I say! Step right up an’ say goodbye to yer problems!”
Tommy waved in any man and woman that passed him to hawk his wares, shouting and pointing between them all without a pause for breath. Whilst Tommy yelled and boasted, Anderson went about removing the lid of the crate and slowly beginning to remove items one at a time, doing his best to upplay each of them with what little showmanship he had. Desperate times did call for desperate measure after all.
