Lesson28(1) Fivepounds too dear
Small boats loadedwith wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before shehad anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks weresoon covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffeepots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Manyof the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decidednot to buy anything until I had disembarked. I had no sooner got off the shipthan I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had nointention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressedby the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man wentto great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking pasta shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impressionin the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.
