Ethel. Are these the same price as the others?
[Fingers the browns.
Newcome. Exactly the same, madam; one dollar and fifty cents a yard, reduced from two and a half; all-wool.
Maud. Are you sure they are all-wool? This piece feels rather harsh to me.
Newcome. Every thread, madam; that I will guarantee. We are not allowed to misrepresent anything in this establishment. You can see for yourself.
[Recklessly frays out a few inches of the brown.
Ethel (also fingering goods). Yes, they are all-wool; French, did you say?
Newcome. Every piece imported. We keep no domestic woollen goods whatever. We have no call for anything but the foreign goods.
Maud. How wide did you say?
Newcome. Double width, madam—forty-four inches.
