| [00:01.080] | --- lesson 31 A lovable eccentric |
| [00:06.040] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
| [00:11.600] | --- Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie? |
| [00:17.720] | True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. |
| [00:23.400] | They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. |
| [00:30.080] | This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life. |
| [00:38.600] | Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. |
| [00:45.200] | He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life. |
| [00:53.400] | He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died. |
| [01:01.920] | Dickie disliked snobs intensely. |
| [01:04.920] | Though he owned a large car, he hardly ever used it, preferring always to go on foot. |
| [01:11.200] | Even when it was raining heavily, he refused to carry an umbrella. |
| [01:15.720] | One day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower. |
| [01:23.240] | He wanted to buy a £300 watch for his wife, |
| [01:27.440] | but he was in such a bedraggled condition that an assistant refused to serve him. |
| [01:33.040] | Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag. |
| [01:39.040] | As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on the counter. |
| [01:43.320] | The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager. |
| [01:50.840] | Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. |
| [01:58.960] | When Dickie was given the watch, he presented the assistant with the cloth bag. |
| [02:04.160] | It contained $300 in pennies. |
| [02:08.720] | He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000 pennies in all! |
| [02:16.000] | On another occasion, he invited a number of important critics to see his private collection of modern paintings. |
| [02:23.520] | This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press, |
| [02:27.720] | for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by Dickie. |
| [02:34.200] | It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about. |
