If you are so concerned about the quality of my copper, maybe you should switch to bronze? Though I doubt you can afford it seeing as your sandal straps are of mismatched leather.
And perhaps if you were as concerned with brewing the donkey sweat you call “ale” at your granary as you are about my copper, you could afford to source ores of higher quality.
What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt!
