Jakob—Who the devil comes here so early?

Jeppe—Good morning, Jakob Skomager.

Jakob—Thank you, Jeppe! You're around pretty early to-day.

Jeppe—Give me a penny worth of brandy, Jakob.

Jakob—Very well, hand me the penny.

Jeppe—You'll get that to-morrow when I come back.

Jakob—Jakob Skomager doesn't sell whiskey on credit; you have a penny or two, I know.
