He took o ff his hat and holding it in front o f him with both hands, he advanced nervously a few paces, paused and stood looking around him, searching the faces o f the lunchtime crowd. Several people turned and stared at him in mild astonishment, and he heard - or he thought he heard - at least one woman's voice saying, «My dear, do look what's just come in!» At last he spotted Mr. Clements sitting at a small table in the far comer, and he hurried over to him.

This was merely an exploratory, much-too-low bid, a kind o f signal to the seller that the buyers were seriously interested. And by God thought Clements, the poor fool has gone and accepted it. He nodded gravely many times in an effort to hide his astonishment and he said, «Good, good. I'm so glad to hear that, Mr. Botibol.» Then he signalled a waiter and said, «Two large martinis.» жүктеу/скачать 7,88 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
