उत्तर
Unlike previous lots, one painting’s launch price was four thousand pounds. When the millionaires were too stunned to react, the author had sheepishly said “and fifty”. The auctioneer clinched the deal in the author’s favor. This was a rude shock to the author because he did not wish to buy any painting.”.
