Clever innkeeper and his tricking customer tale
A village innkeeper recounts a barroom con in which a mysterious man bets three sovereigns under a mug and withdraws them unseen, fooling the host who lifts the mug and loses the wager amid a crowd. Also notes a factory moved in Boston without stopping work and a quip about marriage as a lottery with humorous comparison.
