L31-1：A lovableeccentric

True eccentricsnever deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. They disregardsocial conventions without being conscious that they are doing anythingextraordinary. This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, forthey add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.

Up to the time ofhis death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. Hewas a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knewanything about this side of his life. He was known to us all as Dickie and hiseccentricity had become legendary long before he died. Dickie disliked snobsintensely. Though he owned a large car, he hardly ever used it, preferringalways to go on foot. Even when it was raining heavily, he refused to carry anumbrella. One day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught ina particularly heavy shower. He wanted to buy a $300 watch for his wife, but hewas in such a bedraggled condition that an assistant refused to serve him.
