Clarence held out his hand.
Marvin shook it.
“Hah!” laughed Nick. “You’re afraid Marvin’ll throw you in the dungeon.”
“I wouldn’t do that,” Marvin told Clarence. He wished Nick would quit saying things that could make Clarence mad.
Clarence looked at Marvin. “Do you want a quarter?” he asked.
Marvin shook his head.
Stuart elbowed him. “Take it, Marvin,” he whispered.
Clarence pulled a quarter out of his pocket. “Here, you can have it.”
“No, that’s okay,” said Marvin.
“Take it,” said Clarence.
Marvin took it.
“Thanks,” said Clarence.
“You’re welcome,” said Marvin.
Clarence walked away. Nick and Stuart cracked up.
Casey Happleton and Judy Jasper came out the door.
“Good-bye, Prince Marvin,” said Casey.
“See you tomorrow, Prince,” said Judy.
The two girls ran away, giggling.
Marvin looked at the quarter. He wished Clarence hadn’t given it to him.
“A quarter is nothing to a prince,” said Stuart. “Do you know how much your allowance is going to be?”
“A hundred dollars a week?” guessed Nick.
“More,” said Stuart.
“A thousand?” asked Marvin.
Stuart shook his head. Then he said, “Your weight in gold.”
Nick whistled.
“You should eat more,” said Stuart. “The more you weigh, the bigger your allowance.”
“You could have three ice cream sundaes a day,” said Nick.
“Four,” said Stuart.
“Five,” said Nick.
“Six!” said Marvin.
