Excerpt: ... won't you give it to me?" said Ida, hesitatingly. "Catch me at such nonsense! But here we are at another shop. Go in and see whether you can do any better there. Here's the money." "Why, it's the same piece." "What if it is?" "I don't want to pass bad money." "Tut, what hurt will it do?" "It is the same as stealing." "The man won't lose anything. He'll pass it off again."

Excerpt: ... won't you give it to me?" said Ida, hesitatingly. "Catch me at such nonsense! But here we are at another shop. Go in and see whether you can do any better there. Here's the money." "Why, it's the same piece." "What if it is?" "I don't want to pass bad money." "Tut, what hurt will it do?" "It is the same as stealing." "The man won't lose anything. He'll pass it off again."
