`` No , it 's our Mission Band autograph quilt , Mr. Campbell . There are to be as many squares in it as there are members in the Band . Each one has a square and is collecting names for it . If you want to have your name on the quilt you pay five cents , and if you want to have it right in the round spot in the middle of the square you must pay ten cents . Then when we have got all the names we can we will embroider them on the squares . The money is to go to the little girl our Band is supporting in Korea . I heard that nobody had asked you , so I thought perhaps you would give me your name for my square . '' Mr. Campbell drew his black brows together in a scowl . `` Stuff and nonsense ! '' he exclaimed angrily . `` I do n't believe in Foreign Missions -- do n't believe in them at all . I never give a cent to them . '' `` Five cents is n't a very large sum , '' said Cecily earnestly . Mr. Campbell 's scowl disappeared and he laughed . `` It would n't break me , '' he admitted , `` but it 's the principle of the thing . And as for that Mission Band of yours , if it was n't for the fun you get out of it , catch one of you belonging . You do n't really care a rap more for the heathen than I do . '' `` Oh , we do , '' protested Cecily . `` We do think of all the poor little children in Korea , and we like to think we are helping them , if it 's ever so little . We ARE in earnest , Mr. Campbell -- indeed we are . ''
`` Do n't believe it -- do n't believe a word of it , '' said Mr. XXXXX impolitely .
