Title	Fair Day or the Perishable Commodity

Description	A scene at a country fair. On the left is a tavern, on the right a stage, and in the background various tents. In the foreground a bent old man with a stick points towards a young woman's basket, although he seems to be looking beyond the basket to the front of her dress. He says: "My pretty Dear - what do you ask for your Article? I am rather near-sighted - but I'll give you half a crown for it at a venture" The young woman replies: "Dear Sir! I wonder you should think of such a thing - though mine is but a perishable commodity,- it shall not go at that price I assure you". Available on CD 164.
