Passage 3
Telephoning for the local taxi to come and fetch me, I went to Oxford and bought a camera. Although it was the start of a busy Saturday afternoon, the boy who served me tackled the problem of a one-handed photographer with enthusiasm and as if he had all the time in the world. Between us we sorted out a miniature German sixteen millimetre camera, three inches long by one and a half wide, which I could hold, set, snap, and wind with one hand with the greate
st of ease.
He gave me a thorough lesson in how to work it, added in inches to its length in the shape of a screwed-on photo-electric light meter, loaded it with film, and slid it into a black case so small that it made no bulge in my trouser pocket. He also offered to change the film later if I couldn’t manage it. We parted on the best of terms.
When I got back everyone was sitting round a cosy fire in the drawing-room eating crumpets. Very tantalizing. I love crumpets.
No one took much notice when I went in and sat down on the fringe of the circle except Mrs. Van Dysart, who began sharpening her claw. She got in a couple of quick digs about young men marrying girls for their money, and Charles didn’t say that I hadn’t. Viola looked at me searchingly, worryingly opening her mouth. I winked, and she shut it again in relief.
