'that's a price for an american buyer. let's say fifty.' in the end they agreed on something in between, and half an hour later mr dillet took the thing away in his car. mr chittenden stood at the shop door, smiling, with the money in his hand, and waved goodbye. then he entered the back room where his wife was making tea.
