C
Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition(竞争) between George and Richard.
“I’ll be the first millionaire in Clifford!” Richard Pike used to say.
“I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George would reply.
George never did become a lawyer and Richard Pike never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Clifford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.
Then Richard Pike married a girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the beach—but Richard Pike never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have dead in the water.
Now with only one bookshop in Clifford High Street, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and looked out of the dirty window, thinking about his rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him!
George was very interested in old dictionaries. He had recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare(稀有的) first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George saw the photo in the newspaper with which the book had been wrapped(包裹). He was surprised—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! George started reading.
