Number
6 has just purchased a copy of The Tally Ho, the price is 2 Work Units. Now
he’s contemplating the records which must be like the Cuckoo clocks, a special
import. Number 6 chose Bizet’s l’arlesienne conducted by Davier, and takes all
six copies of the record to the record booth and listens the first few seconds
of two of the records, and not all six. I expect he became bored after the
first two! Certainly the new shopkeeper has made improvements to the General
Stores, bringing in special imports, and the addition of a record booth. But
why, in the cashless society of The Village is a vintage cash register {wooden
box on the counter} dating back to the 1930’s required? Perhaps its there
simply for decoration, to help give the General Store a certain ambiance of
yesteryear.
Be seeing you
