7439. But you said you would sometimes rather have had the money: why did you not ask it then? Was it because the practice is not to give money for hosiery?-I suppose it was.
7440. Did you not ask it because you would not get it?-I knew that if I had asked it I might have got a little.
7441. Would you prefer to get some money for your hosiery whenever you take it to sell?-Yes.
7442. Do you think you would get less money for it than you get in goods?-I don't know.
7443. Who do you sell it to in Lerwick?-Mr. Sinclair.
7444. Do you keep an account with him?-No.
7445. Do you keep an account at any of the shops?-Yes; I sometimes keep an account at Hillswick with Mr. Anderson.
7446. How often do you settle it?-Sometimes at the end of the year, and sometimes oftener.
7447. Is there anything entered in that account as having been sold by you except hosiery?-No.
7448. Are there no eggs?-No; we sell eggs, but they are never put into our account; they are just paid for at the time.
