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, Yevhen Konoplyanka Drakter 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 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 wrong color. I could niver ha’ bought Aleksandar Kolarov Drakter such net, if it hadn’t been Tammy Abraham Drakter 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 Hamburg a pig; net or calico was Andrea Barzagli Drakter all the same to me. I 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 tell y’ anything else I should be tellin’ you fibs — an’ five-an’-eightpence I shall ask of it, not a penny more, for it’s a woman’s article, an’ I like to ‘commodate the women. Five-an’-eightpence for six yards — as cheap Sami Khedira Drakter as if it was only the dirt on it as was paid for.’”
“I don’t mind having three yards of it,’” said Mrs. Glegg.
“Why, there’s but six altogether,” said Bob. “No, mum, it isn’t worth your while; you can go to the shop to-morrow an’ get the same pattern ready whitened. It’s on’y three times the money; what’s that to a lady like you?” He gave an emphatic tie to his bundle.
“Come, lay me Arsenal Jersey out that muslin,” said Mrs. Glegg. “Here’s eight shilling for it.”
“You will be jokin’,” said Bob, looking up with a laughing face; “I see’d you was Darijo Srna Drakter a pleasant lady when I fust come to the winder.”
“Well, put it me Aleix Vidal Drakter out,” said Mrs. Glegg, peremptorily.
“But if I let you have it for ten shillin’, mum, you’ll be UA SpeedForm® Apollo Vent 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’ she’s a rare customer.”
“Let me look at Ryan Getzlaf Pelipaita the net again,” said Mrs. Glegg, yearning after the cheap spots and sprigs, now they were vanishing.
“Well, I can’t deny you, mum,” said Bob handing it out.
“Eh!, see what a pattern now! Real Laceham goods. Now, this is the sort o’ article I’m recommendin’ Mr. Tom to send out. Lors, it’s a fine thing for anybody as has Joe Maguire Drakter got a bit o’ money; these Laceham goods ‘ud make it breed like maggits.
