102. Where did you take it?-I took it to Mr. Sinclair's. I could
not get it sold that night, because he was not in, and the servants
could not take it in his absence. I took it home with me.
103. What did you do with it?-The woman who dressed it sold it
for me at Mr. Sinclair's. She generally dresses things, and
sometimes sells them for me.
104. What is dressing?-Getting them sorted for sale. After being
knitted, they are washed and dressed and starched.
105. Do you give the woman who dresses the articles a
commission to sell them?-Yes; she sells them for me.
106. Why is that?-Because she is generally in the way of doing it.
She can do it better than I can.
107. Do you mean that she can make a better bargain?-She
dresses goods for the merchants, and sometimes she sells them too.
She sold that article for me.
108. Who is the woman?-Mrs. William Arcus; she lives at the
Docks.
109. What was the price put upon that necktie which she sold?-
Eighteenpence.
