Bradley is eight years old. His dad is a local salesman that goes door-to-door throughout the community selling kitchen supplies and utensils. One day, little Bradley's dad tells Bradley to join him so that the dad can show Bradley the nature of the business and the work of the trade. Bradley's dad successfully makes a sale of a set of kitchen pans to Lavinia for $150 while little Bradley dutifully held the display for his dad. A couple of months later, Lavinia sees Bradley riding his bike past her house and she screams for him to stop. Lavinia tells him how much she loves her kitchen pans and how she wants a set for her sister. She gives Bradley $150 to place the order. Months go by and no pans are delivered to Lavinia. Outraged, Lavinia calls Bradley's dad, only to learn that he has no such order for her. Lavinia demands a refund of $150. Is Bradley's dad liable to Lavinia for the $150 Lavinia presented to Bradley? Yes, because by bringing Bradley along on the job, he created an apparent authority between them. Yes, because an actual agency existed between Bradley and his dad. No, because Lavinia acted unreasonably. No, because the lingering authority ended after the first sale to Lavinia. Yes, because (1) Lavinia relied on Bradley, and (2) Bradley relied on Lavinia
