In one way or t'other, he's swindled everybody with his notions.

Some bought his clocks, which only went while the rogue stayed, and when he went they stopt forever.

Some bought ready-made clothes, which went to pieces at the very sight of soap and water.

He sold a fusee to old Jerry Seaborn, and warranted the piece, and it bursted into flinders, the very first fire, and tore little Jerry's hand and arm--son of old Jerry--almost to pieces.

He'll never have the right use of it agin.
