Matilda
and
her
brother
were
sitting
quietly
on
the
sofa
waiting
for
their
mother
to
bring
in
the
TV
dinners
on
a
tray
.
The
television
had
not
yet
been
switched
on
.
212
In
came
Mr
.
Wormwood
in
a
loud
check
suit
and
a
yellow
tie
.
The
appalling
broad
orange
-
and
-
green
check
of
the
jacket
and
trousers
almost
blinded
the
onlooker
.
He
looked
like
a
low
-
grade
bookmaker
dressed
up
for
his
daughter
s
wedding
,
and
he
was
clearly
very
pleased
with
himself
this
evening
.
He
sat
down
in
an
armchair
and
rubbed
his
hands
together
and
addressed
his
son
in
a
loud
voice
.
"
Well
,
my
boy
,
"
he
said
,
"
your
father
s
had
a
most
successful
day
.
He
is
a
lot
richer
tonight
than
he
was
this
morning
.
He
has
sold
no
less
than
five
cars
,
each
one
at
a
tidy
profit
.
Sawdust
in
the
gear
-
boxes
,
the
electric
-
drill
on
the
speedometer
cables
,
a
splash
of
paint
here
and
there
and
a
few
other
clever
little
tricks
and
the
idiots
were
all
falling
over
themselves
to
buy
.
"
213
He
fished
a
bit
of
paper
from
his
pocket
and
studied
it
.
"
Listen
boy
,
"
he
said
,
addressing
the
son
and
ignoring
Matilda
,
"
seeing
as
you
ll
be
going
into
this
business
with
me
one
day
,
you
ve
got
to
know
how
to
add
up
the
profits
you
make
at
the
end
of
each
day
.
Go
and
get
yourself
a
pad
and
a
pencil
and
let
s
see
how
clever
you
are
.

The
son
obediently
left
the
room
and
returned
with
the
writing
materials
.
215
"
Write
down
these
figures
,
"
the
father
said
,
reading
from
his
bit
of
paper
.
"
Car
number
one

bought
by
me
for
two
hundred
and
seventy
-
eight
pounds
and
sold
for
one
thousand

hundred
and
twenty
-

The
ten
-
year
-
old
boy
wrote
the
two
separate
amounts
down
slowly
and
carefully
.
