The __11__ of producing a new—for example—toothpaste would make 8 Op the decent price for it, so we will market it at £l. 20. It is not a bad toothpaste (not specially good either, but not bad) , and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the __12__ of novelty soon fades, so sales will __13__ . When that starts to happen we will reduce the price to £l. 15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it, whereupon people will rush to buy it even though it still costs about forty-three percent more than its __14__ price.

When I was a boy in Hungary a man was __17__ of murdering someone for the sake of one pengo, the equivalent of a shilling, and pleaded __18__ The judge shouted __19__ : "To kill a man for a shilling! What can you say in your __20__ ?" The murderer replied: "A shilling here. . . a shilling there. . . " And that's what today's shopper says, too: "A penny here... a penny there. . . "
