Harold Creme , Market Trader
Harold Creme launched himself on the public with a flood of words he never believed himself capable of. His father decided to give up his stall and Harold, a diffident youth with a stammer, had either to talk or quit. He talked, and he has pattered on for 30 years, drawing crowds who come to laugh and sometimes stay to buy. He is a gambler who plays for small stakes in a casino and for large ones, by its very nature, in his daily work. Narrator DERYCK GUYLER
