You are looking all ‘mussed up.’ He replied: ‘T have just been down to the market and this is the way I have o go. The peasants who bring “in the - meats, fruits, anll'vegetables.are such wicked robbers that if T should go down dressed like a -gentleman, -I would- have noth- ingleft, not even my clothes, So; I go down with' this ragged old suit, bend over my- shoulders and shuffle along threugh the market stalls, When I ;see: something -that I want T begin tor haggle. and. bargain with. the peasant.
