阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
Albie is old, with a slow, heavy walk. He wears his hair short and his trousers low. He works for some people who own small country houses.
The other day, he was in a little dustbin shelter (遮蔽物) for the neighbors up the road. He painted the shed (棚) green and let it dry. I went to look at it, putting my finger to the smooth paint. But the next day Albie came back with a machine and roughed up (粗磨, 使不 平) the paint. He was adding another coating. He said "That is not the way Albie works. What I make by hand does not look unprofessional (外 行的)."
Nothing in Albie's world holds secrets from him so far as houses are concerned, because at some time he either builds it, repairs it or decorates it. The fuse (保险丝) box, the stone patio (用石块砌的院子), the shed, the small house, these are all Albie's work.
The people Albie works for do big businesses. Albie does not know how to buy and sell securities (证券). But when these men want to have sheds built or patios laid, they come to Albie. People may wonder why Albie gets paid so little for doing so much. The reason is simple. He leads a quiet and simple life. He is always alone with his serene thoughts.
