Mariah, a Young Woman Aged 17, Went Shopping

Mariah, a young woman aged 17, went shopping. She purchased a new coat on credit at a clothing store. Later the same day, she took her expensive watch to a jewellery shop to have a new watch band installed. While in the shop, she purchased on credit an additional watch for herself, and a silver bracelet as a gift for a friend. When the merchants later requested payment, Mariah refused to pay. If Mariah accidentally damaged the watch while it was in her possession, the merchant cannot hold her liable for the cost of repair.
