Unknown Story

Sir!! Does that article of stories contain a stamp declaring the necessary taxes have been paid to the King? 1
Look at the sign sir, I have not the time to speak to any more addle pates. 3
STAMP ACT MUST PAY TAXES ON PAPER ITEMS
Why sir, what do you mean? I was not aware that we are to pay taxes on books 2
I do not contain any more time in which I am willing to expend on meaningless encounters. Now Leave!
Wait sir? Why are WE being taxed more? It is a Kings duty to protect his people. Why must we be charged more? That is completely prepostorous.
