n+1: So, did you sell your n+1?

Bookseller: Yes and no.

n+1: Uh…

Bookseller: Someone came in, but it was a ringer. Some relative of yours.

n+1: A relative?

Bookseller: Yes. Do you have relatives in New York?

n+1: I have no relatives.

Bookseller: Well, he was a close family friend. He knew all about our previous conversation. And so I felt bad taking money from him, and I said, since you hadn't charged me for it, I wouldn't charge him for it either.

n+1: You—

Bookseller: I gave it to him.

n+1: You gave it to him.

Bookseller: Yup.

n+1: Wow.
