A FOREIGNER asked an English tailor how much cloth was necessary for a
suit of clothes. He replied, twelve yards. Astonished at the quantity,
he went to another, who said seven would be quite sufficient. Not
thinking of the exorbitancy even of this demand, all his rage was
against the first tailor: so to him he went. How did you dare, sir, ask
twelve yards of cloth, to make me what your neighbor says he can do for
seven?--Lord, sir! replied the man, my neighbor can easily do it, he
has but three children to clothe, I have six.
