JACOB. Thank you, Jeppe! You are up and about bright and early to-day.
JEPPE. Let us have a pennyworth of brandy, Jacob!
JACOB. With all my heart, when you show me the penny.
JEPPE. I'll give it to you when I come back here tomorrow.
JACOB. Jacob Shoemaker doesn't give credit, I know you must have a penny or two about you to pay with.
JEPPE. Honestly, Jacob, I have nothing but what my wife gave me to spend in town for her.
JACOB. You can easily beat them down a few pence on what you buy.
What is it you're to get her?
JEPPE. I have to buy two pounds of soft soap.
JACOB. Why, can't you tell her the soap cost a penny or two more than you give for it?
JEPPE. I'm so afraid my wife would find out about it, and then I'd be in trouble.
