Bob's Bargain Gone Bad In A London Stable Yard
In a crowded stable yard Sam tempts Bob with a cheap pair of patent leather boots. Bob, tight on funds from six shillings weekly and three shillings rent, buys the boots with his scant savings only to have them split and ruined as he struggles to fit them, learning that a bargain can be worse than it seems. The tale closes with a courtroom aside about a witness’s tale and a judge’s quip on a wife’s claim.
