It might escape Mr. Everyman Spendy Shopper

A young boy - or, at least, a boy a little younger than Cuthbert - stood behind the stall. He looked bored, something that might have escaped Mr. Everyman Spendy Shopper but didn't pass by Cuthbert's eagle eye; he kept digging at his nose or ear, or sometimes both at once, as he gazed idly around the marketplace. Every few minutes, he let out a huge sigh. And, occasionally, he murmured, 'I'm booored.'

Cuthbert nodded to himself slowly. It was important to have keen observational skills as a heroic adventurer.
