Sixteen year old Letty, made her way into the market as she went looking for Mrs Smith whom her mother had sent her to collect vegetables from. She finally got there, and she greeted,
"Good evening mrs Smith”, said Letty and the older woman looked at the young lady as she replied saying,
“Evening to you ms Letty, any thing I can help you with?”.
“Might I please be able to get lettuce, and how much will it cost”? asked Letty to mrs Smith.
“Yes Lettuce is available and that would be three shillings”, said mrs Smith.
Letty dipped her hands into the pocket of her dress and brought out the three shillings, then handed it over to mrs Smith then collected the lettuce in return.
“I hope your mother is well Letty”?asked mrs Smith to Letty and Letty nodded her head saying,
“She is alright just busy with work” to which mrs Smith gave a nod and Letty turned around to leave.
