A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Mr Dale Pruett had been in Margate nine days and had yet to make a single pound that wasn't already spent. The boarding house on Marine Terrace ran on tea urns and rules, and Mrs Ostler, who owned it, had pinned a handwritten notice above the stairs: NO CAMERAS IN THE DINING ROOM. He read it twice, then bought a second film roll from the tobacconist on the corner, because the notice said nothing about the promenade.

The idea came to him on the pier, watching a man in a gold chain win a stuffed giraffe at the penny falls. Everybody wanted a photograph of themselves looking like they had money. Dale set up at the rail with his sunglasses on and his cap turned backwards, calling out to passing couples that their picture was on the house. Forty pence a print, collected from the kiosk the next morning. By Thursday he had a queue of brides' mothers and a lad from Sheffield who wanted his girlfriend's face on a fridge magnet.

Mrs Ostler found out on Friday. She stood at the foot of the stairs with a fistful of his prints and a look that could have stripped varnish. "Easy money, is it?" she said. Dale opened his mouth to explain, and the camera round his neck went off by itself, catching her mid-sentence, one finger raised like a pointer at a bad student.

The print went up in the hall the following week, directly beneath the notice about cameras. Nobody ever asked who had taken it. Dale paid his rent in prints for the rest of the season, and Mrs Ostler, to his lasting surprise, never once charged him for the tea.
