Do not include me in this discussionhe said dryly I will make no offer at all I do not want it This is not a pearl – it is a monstrosity His thin lips curled
Now the second dealer a little man with a shy soft voice took up the pearl and he examined it carefully He took a glass from his pocket and inspected it under magnification Then he laughed softly
Better pearls are made of pastehe said I know these things This is soft and chalky it will lose its color and die in a few months Look – He offered the glass to Kino showed him how to use it and Kino who had never seen a pearl’s surface magnified was shocked at the strangelooking surface
The third dealer took the pearl from Kino’s hands One of my clients likes such things he said I will offer five hundred pesos and perhaps I can sell it to my client for six hundred
Kino reached quickly and snatched the pearl from his hand He wrapped it in the deerskin and thrust it inside his shirt
The man behind the desk said I’m a fool I know but my first offer stands I still offer a thousand What are you doing he asked as Kino thrust the pearl out of sight
I am cheatedKino cried fiercely My pearl is not for sale here I will go perhaps even to the capital
Now the dealers glanced quickly at one another They knew they had played too hard they knew they would be disciplined for their failure and the man at the desk said quickly I might go to fifteen hundred’
