    In Green v. Priddy, 112 Tex. 567, 250 S.W. 656, an agent was instructed to sell an oil lease upon given terms and to allow the purchaser three days in which to examine abstract of title; the agent complied with certain portions of his instructions, but contracted with the purchaser to allow him five days in which to examine title, and it was held that the difference in the time authorized to be allowed and that allowed by the broker was fatal to a recovery thereon.
