Comprehension Questions
Unit 2, Book 4
1. What is Mr. Boggis’s business secret?
He invented a clever way of searching for supply for his antique furniture business. He disguised himself as an amiable old parson who worked for local churches making visits to farmers on a labor of love for helping preserving antique furniture for a local museum. His method was very successful and he did not like other people to know his business secret.

2. How did he invent this clever way of doing business?
It all started by chance. One day, his car was broken on his way back to London. He accidentally discovered a pair of valuable armchairs of the 15th century when he visited a farmhouse nearby for help. Out of quick wit, he persuaded the old lady to sell them to him at a price less than a twentieth of their real value. Inspired by his windfall, he discovered an important source of supply: those old, impoverished rich farmhouses in the comparatively isolated countryside.

4. What is his strategy when he persuaded the old lady to sell him the two valuable armchairs at a price of twentieth of their real value?
His strategies are first disguising his real motive for asking to buy them. He pretended to ask about it very casually, just out of curiosity. He then offered an unbelievably low price (35 pounds) for something worth over 1000 pounds, and explained that they were not valuable and not easy to sell. The woman in the farmhouse had little knowledge about the real value of her chairs, so she was easily cheated by Mr. Boggis’s trick.
