“Books：Have you any old books？I buy old and new books．
Open all day on Saturday，Bill Dickens，37 King Road．”
Bill stayed at home on Saturday．His first visitor came at eight o'clock．Bill took him to the kitchen．At half past nine another man arrived．He had a bag with him．
“Mr．Dickens？”the man asked．
“That's right，”Bill said．“Can I help you？”
“I've got some good books．You buy books，don't you？”
“Yes．Bring them in．I'll have a look at them．”
Soon the books were on the dining-table．“Come in now，”Bill called，“and bring the list．”
