Edgar felt quite excited at the thought of his first swim of the summer. With the sun shining down so st
rongly, the sea was certain to be warm enough. He walked quickly along the sea front towards the steps that led on to the sands. He smiled cheerfully at the people. He had just smiled and waved his hat to an elderly lady when a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him. Edgar heard a little buzzing noise ("咝"的響聲) from the camera.
“Your photo, sir, in bright colour in just one moment if you please," said the man.
Then the buzzing stopped, and the cameraman handed the photo over, and Edgar saw the bright blue his shirt half filling the picture.
“Seventy pence, sir," the man said.
“Seventy pence," Edgar repeated, “For this photo?”
“They're normally eighty-five, sir, but for one person I make a cut-price offer. It's the best price you'll get in Chadwell."
“You'll have to make a better offer." Edgar said. It was a good photo though, he thought, so bright and clear. His hat was held high, and he was smiling happily at the old lady, whose arm and handbag came into a lower comer. He had had no idea that he was being pictured. He thought he was really quite a good-looking man.
“That's as good as any studio job that would cost you pounds," said the cameraman. “It's better in a way because it's so natural. Only seventy pence, sir."
“I've never paid so much for a photo in my life. It isn't worth that kind of money. It's not as if I need the thing. Look, I'll give you twenty-five."
"No, I can't do that. Each of these colour photos costs me 50p — that's the price of the blank frame（像紙）, so you see ...
"No, No," Edgar broke in. "You want a profit(利潤) of forty per cent. Well, I'll give you your 50p and that's that."
“Let me see, then." The man suddenly took the photo out of Edgar's hand.? “I can't spend any more time on it with you. It's 70p or I keep it."
“Keep it," Edgar said. He turned, looked out to sea, and then walked quickly away.
