2095. Are you tenants of Mr Sinclair?-Yes.
2096. You have a house from him, and he keeps your rent off what you have to get for your knitting?-Yes; and we have sometimes to get as high as 5s. a week from him, and we always get it.
2097. That is, for your living?-Yes.
2098. Do you get as much money in payment for your veils as you require?-Yes; as much as we ask for.
2099. Will you manage to take a dozen veils to him in the course of a fortnight?-Yes; or perhaps a dozen in three weeks.
2100. You are speaking both of your sisters and yourself?-Yes.
2101. How much of that 18s. as a general thing, will you get in money?-I can hardly say. If we were to ask money weekly we would get it: but since our brother's wages were raised, we have not asked so often for money.
2102. That is to say, you have spent more of the produce of your knitting in goods-in clothing?-Yes.
2103. Have you ever had to sell any of the goods that you got at the shop?-No.
2104. Or tea?-No.
