I don’t carry scales, but 1 see you have your own.” So 1 dumped them back in a bas, weighed them, or rather let her weigh them on her own scales, emptied them again and weighed the bag. The Do- tatoes netted seventeen pounds and a half. She didn’t offer to return the two pounds and a half which she was getting for nothing. But she never hinted, after that, that she wanted me to weigh anything I sold her. And I judge from the amount and frequency of her orders that she buys about all her potatoes from me, since that.

Anyway, insistence upon one’s un- doubted rights, even to the last penny is not “mean,” even though it may seem so to some uneconomical people.
