4206. Do you sometimes get a little money?-No, I never get any money.
4207. Have you asked for money, and been refused?-Yes, I have asked for money to pay for the dressing of shawls. It is generally half shawls that I knit.
4208. Have you not been able to get money when you asked for it?-I once got 6d. for that purpose, or rather it was thrown at me.
4209. What do you mean by that?-I mean that it was given in that sort of way.
4210. Would you rather be paid in money than in goods for your knitting?-Yes, much rather.
4211. If you could get money, would you be content to take a rather lower price for your work?-I would indeed.
4212. What is the price of the half shawls you knit?-They vary in price according to the quality of them.
4213. What is the ordinary price you get?-I have got 28s. for a half shawl, and I have got from that down to as low as 12s.
4214. Suppose you were selling a shawl for 16s. in goods, would you be content to take 14s. if you were paid for it in cash?-Yes, I would be quite content to do with that.
4215. Why?-Because I would be able to make more of the 14s. in cash than of the 16s. in goods.
