“
Six and a quarter, I believe, but you’d better measure my
hand to make sure.
”
“
I think a six is your size. How do you like these? I can
recommend them, they’re very reliable.
”
“
How much are they?
”
“
Nineteen and eleven (19/11), madam.
”
“
Very well, I’ll take them. And now, how do I get to the shoe
department?
”
“
Come this way, please, and I’ll show you ... just over there
beyond the millinery department.

“
What kind of shoe did you want, madam? Calf, glacй,
suede...?
”
“
I want a strong walking shoe with a low heel. Perhaps
calf would be best. I like court shoes,
but of course high heels
aren’t suitable for country wear ... As you see, I have rather small
feet.
”
“
Here’s a pair about your size. Try them on ... How do they
feel?
”
“
They’re fairly comfortable, but they’re
a bit tight across the
toes; I suppose they’ll give a little.
”
“
Yes, they’ll stretch with wearing.
”
“
Very well, then... Now, let’s see, what else did I want. Oh
yes, some silk stockings, shoepolish, a pair of scissors, and
some safetypins.
