to follow the high river
chapter 2
Here, here! What's the problem?
How can I help you good folk?
The elderly gentleman was the first to respond,
pointing a finger trembling with age at the plump
woman of middle years who stood beside him.
She's taken the last packet of
cheap meat! Look at her -- she can
afford better, whereas I cannot!
What do you know, you old fool? I've six
brats at home to feed! My coppers are stretched
just as thin as yours, if not more so!
Not to judge by your girth, they're
not! Now give me that! You surely won't
starve without it, and I very well may!
Gauen cut in before the disagreement
could get any further.
Please, my friends! Let me settle this dilemma
for you in a way that should please you both.
Quickly gathering up two packets of shredded
meat of a higher grade than that over which
they fought, he held them out and offered:
Here. I beg you each to take one
of these instead, for the same price as the
other. Let us have peace between you.
Suspiciously, the woman observed:
Higher quality, for the same price?
Equally doubtful, the man added:
And more of it, besides?

Thanks for the nice comments, guys! Carlos, this strip is part of a series (like one page out of a book); you kind of have to read from the beginning to understand what's going on. Glad you like the background, though -- thank you!
