Pity for a stranger
The little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box and asked me whether I had a match.
“I’m sorry.” I said. “I don’t smoke, so I haven’t any, you’d better ask someone else.”
He looked rather disappointed, hesitated, wholesale replica designer handbags and then turned away. I watched him walk slowly down the street before I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I ment to dial.
When I was at last able to speak, I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to call had just gone out.
Swearing slightly, I emerged from the box and came face to face with the little man, who was looking very sad. As he raised his hat again, wholesale designer handbags, I could see he was quite bald. A thin line, like a scar, crossed one cheek. He spoke nervously.
“excuse my troubling you again,” he said. “may I walk along with you a little way? I need help desperately.”
He had an unusally deep voice which suggested a strange combination of shyness and self-confidence. I said that I had to catch a train in twenty minutes, but that he might accompany me to the satation.
“I am going to shock you,” he said suddenly, wholesale coach handbags after a moment’s silence. “can you lend me five pounds? I have no money at all.”
“I’m sorry,” I replied. “I’m afraid I can’t lend you anything, as I’m not in the habit of carrying much money about with me. Don’t you think that the police might be the best people to ask for help? They could tell you the address of some organization you could go to.”
