I know what it feels like to have your word doubted . And Mrs. Allan says we should never suspect anyone of not telling us the truth unless we have proof that they 're not . I have proof now -- green hair is proof enough for anybody . But I had n't then and I believed every word he said IMPLICITLY . '' `` Who said ? Who are you talking about ?

I do n't believe in encouraging them to come around at all . '' `` Oh , I did n't let him in the house . I remembered what you told me , and I went out , carefully shut the door , and looked at his things on the step . Besides , he was n't an Italian -- he was a German Jew . He had a big box full of very interesting things and he told me he was working hard to make enough money to bring his wife and children out from Germany . He spoke so feelingly about them that it touched my heart . I wanted to buy something from him to help him in such a worthy object . Then all at once I saw the bottle of hair dye . The peddler said it was warranted to dye any hair a beautiful raven black and would n't wash off . In a trice I saw myself with beautiful raven-black hair and the temptation was irresistible . But the price of the bottle was seventy-five cents and I had only fifty cents left out of my chicken money .
