- Sit down, Mr. Austen, I am glad to make your acquaintance.
- Is it true that you have a certain mixture that has-er-quite extraordinary effects?
- My dear sir,my stock in trade is not very large...I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described asordinary.
- I want nothing of that sort
- Do you mean it is a poison?
- Call it a glove-cleaner if you like, maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried.One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.
- Here, for example, is a liquid as colorlessas water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quiteimperceptible to any known method of autopsy.
- I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive
- Oh dear, no. It would be no good charging that sort of price for a love potion, for example.Young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need alove potion.
- Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which issufficient, I ask five thousand dollars... Not a penny less.
- And how much, is this wonderful mixture?
- So, you really do sell love potions?
- Yes, she will want to be everything to you.
- Just a dollar.
- Thank you again, Good-bye.
- I can't tell you how grateful I am
- I like to oblige. Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and wantmore expensive things.
- Au revoir
