"Hello-- Gerry!" Mary is panting a little (it's not often she has to run so hard!) as she catches up with them. "I've been helping out... in one of the shops! You know this little rascal?" She points at the tiny Gimmighoul troublemaker.
Her work as an assistant shop girl takes up most of her time, and the costs she incurs take up most of the money she earns. But it keeps her from feeling like a malingerer, and that's important to Mary.
