Entry 2810
Take a candle and you pay a quarter for it. (Take a candle.) Pay 25c and it burns eight days. You set that candle for eight days and let it burn, and in the eighth day he'll get you a job, whether he done turn you off or not. He maybe done turn you off, but by you burning that candle on the bossman, that will make him reflect in his mind and take you back. I've seen it happen.
(I see. What color candle would that be?)
Be white.
(White candle.)
Yes, slr.
