His wife and two children have a hard time getting enough to eat, although he is one of the most affluent men in the village. He keeps such close tab on "the advanced cost of living" that he securely locks up the butter. Upon going to the closet he found that someone had been at it, which angered him so much that he refused to buy any more butter for their meals. He, however, thinks of himself, and on his trip to the grocery he cannot resist eyeing with envy a fine, fat roll of butter. The price is too high, and he sticks so closely to his money, but he surreptitiously puts a roll of butter under his hat. The keen-eyed grocery man sees this, but quickly decides a revenge upon the culprit's head. Snow expects to go home at once, but the grocery man gets in the village loiterers, the gossips and the chronic shoppers, and makes a ring around old man Snow and keeps him in proximity with a large stove. The consequence is that the crusty Snow is very freely oiled before he puts up the "ante" for the butter, and saves himself prosecution as a kleptomaniac and further trouble for his stinginess.
