Doctor in Love (2012)
“said Mr Slivers of Slivers and Sons, estate agents at Hampden Cross. He was a fat, red-faced, tweedy man with the cosy manner of a good GP. “Oh, no, Doctor. That’s not our policy at all. We’re going to let you buy one from us. There’s no salesmanship about this firm, Doctor. No pressure. We show you the residence and you make up your mind. If you don’t like it we won’t worry in the least, even though it means showing you every property in Hampden Cross. Cigarette?”
“Thank you.”
“What sort of re...sidence did you have in mind?” he asked.
“A two-roomed flat with central heating,” I said.
“Something detached with at least two bedrooms and a garden for the washing,” said Nikki.
We looked at each other.
“Well now,” said Mr Slivers paternally. “I’m sure we can find a residence that will satisfy you both. Here are particulars of some most attractive properties, Doctor.” He handed me a sheaf of duplicated sheets. “Just ask for the keys. Our junior will be pleased to show you round at your convenience.”MoreLess
