Summary

A story about an old man who bought a mirror.

A Lewisman bought a mirror from a travelling salesman. He had never seen one before. His wife was suspicious about why he kept locking the trunk and putting the key in his pocket. One day she got a chance to look in the trunk. She looked in the mirror and saw that she was right to be suspicious: he had another woman, but she wasn't very pretty.

The contributor heard the story from Kenneth MacLean, a Lewisman who was a minister in Tobermory.
