ten shillin’ for that muslin, an’ be sorry as I didn’t ask her more. Such articles answer i’ the wearin’ — they keep their color till the threads melt away i’ the wash-tub, an’ that won’t be while I’m a young un.”
“Well, seven shilling,” said Mrs. Glegg.
“Put it out o’ your mind, mum, now do,” said Bob. “Here’s a bit o’ net, then, for you to look at New York Rangers Paidat before I tie up my pack, just for you to see what my trade’s come to — spotted and sprigged, you see, beautiful but yallow — ‘s been lyin’ by an’ got the Patrik Schick Drakter wrong color. I could niver ha’ bought such net, if it hadn’t been yallow. Lors, it’s took me a deal o’ study to know the vally o’ such articles; when I begun to carry a pack, I was as ignirant as a pig; net or calico was all the same to me. I Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 thought them things the most vally as was the thickest. I was took in dreadful, for I’m a straightforrard chap — up to no tricks, mum. I can only say my nose is my own, for if I went beyond, I should lose myself pretty quick. An’ I gev five-an’-eightpence for that piece o’ net — if I was to Air Jordan XIII 13 tell y’ anything else I should be tellin’ you fibs — an’ five-an’-eightpence I Marquinhos Drakter shall ask of it, not a penny more, for it’s a woman’s article, an’ I like to ‘commodate the women.

“But if I let you have it for ten shillin’, mum, you’ll be so good as not tell nobody. I should be a laughin’-stock; the trade ‘ud hoot me, if they knowed it. I’m obliged to make believe as I ask more nor I do for my goods, else they’d find out I was a flat. I’m glad you don’t insist upo’ buyin’ the net, for then I should ha’ lost my two best bargains for Mrs. Pepper o’ Fibb’s End, an’ Matt Hedges Drakter she’s a rare customer.”
