“Well, young man, now what is the lowest price you will take?”
“I told you his price when you asked me before. You don’t expect me to lower the price of my own horse without a bid! What do you say you will give?”
“Why, I don’t know! He’s not every man’s horse! Not easily matched; and not suited for a town horse; but I’ll bid you fifty guineas for him.”
“Thank you for your bid, sir; but you must come nigh to double that before you’ll buy.”
“Will you take sixty for him?”
“No; I will not.”
“Will you take seventy? Come now, I’ll give you seventy. You may go a long way before you’ll get such another offer. Say, will you take it?”
“Add another ten to it and it shall be a bargain. I will take eighty.”
“Just walk him down again. Peter, what do you think of him?”
“He’s worth the money; that’s what I say. Buy him, master.”
