Two For Tarragon

Yesterday I noticed two ladies talking loudly in the spice aisle in the supermarket. "Do you think they have it?" "Yes, here it is." One of the ladies selected the red-capped jar from many rows of spices. "How much tarragon do you need?" her friend asked. "The recipe says two teaspoons," she said, examining the jar. There was a large purse in the seat of her carriage with big black flowers printed on a field of white. She had nothing else inside her gigantic cart. Were they really only interested in two teaspoons of tarragon?
