Too Much Curiosity.

The new servant girl came to the lady crying and holding on to her finger. “What's the matter?” asked the lady “I’ve run a fork into my finger, and if it’s this plated stuff I’ll get lockjaw.” “Don’t be afraid. All my silver is genuine. I don’t keep any plated ware in the house.” Next morning the servant girl and all the silver were missing, and the table ware was all plated for some time after, until the times were better.
