- (continued from previous page)"Ten pounds," and of course the buyer offers something less such as eight pound ten shillings. Then again the man says, "Not at all." Nine pound ninteen will not buy her. As they argue about the price a neighbour comes along and they tell him about the bargain. If he thinks the price is too much or too low he will split the difference and say "Let her go for nine pounds." Then he will ask the seller is he satisfied. He will also ask the buyer is he satisfied. If the buyer is not pleased with the bargain the seller will say, "Are you going to break the honest man's word.?" The seller keeps at him until he agrees with the man's word. Then the buyer marks the cow with red or blue raddle. The seller has to give the buyer five shillings as a luck penny.
