What kind of shopkeeper was        Mr . Purcell ?

Mr Prucell was a small fussy man with red cheeks and a tight melon stomach. He owned a pet shop and considered himself a kind of a professional. Whenever any customer remarked on how cute the animals in the pet store were, he would smile and briskly run his hands together and agree with them. He seemed like a shopkeeper who was very content with his pet store and more than eager to make a sale as long as he was able to make a profit out of it.
