15,682. Did you pay the woman you got it from at the time?-Yes.
15,683. Had you not paid her for it before you sold it?-I gave her the money just as I got it from the woman at my side.
15,684. How long was it between the time when you got the cotton and the time when you sold it?-Perhaps a minute or five or ten minutes. The woman was just at my hand who bought it.
15,685. Why could the woman who gave it to you not have sold it herself?-I don't know.
15,686. How much did she give you for selling it?-A penny.
15,687. Did you ever get a penny for selling anything else?-No; I don't work in that way for my living.
