2085. You cannot tell me how many veils you take: to Mr. Sinclair in a week?-We might do three in week, each of us, if we were able to work constantly at it.
2086. Do you work at anything else?-Nothing else-only veils; but we are so often in trouble, that I could hardly tell you how many we do in a week. There are three sisters and one brother of us alive now: my father and mother are dead.
2087. Is your brother a fisherman?-No; he is in a shop.
2088. You are not a married woman?-No.
2089. How much will you get for your veils when you take a lot of them to Mr. Sinclair? Are they sold at 1s. each?-It is generally very fine veils that we knit, and we get 1s. 6d. each for them.
2090. How many do you take at a time to the shop?-Perhaps a dozen, or perhaps two dozen.
2091. If you take a dozen, that would be 18s. worth?-Yes.
2092. How much of that will you get in money?-Our rent is paid from the knitting. That, of course, is money.
2093. You have to get as much as will pay your rent?-Yes.
2094. How do you get your provisions?-We get money whenever we ask it, besides what is taken for our rent.
