Groom (somewhat heated). "Care for a breather, my lady?"
MY SALES DAY.
7.0 to 8.30. Rise, breakfast, and make out shopping-list. I put down:—
Waterproof for Henry.
School-frock and boots for the Kid.
Replenish household linen.
9.0. Arrive at large emporium just as the doors open. Ask to be directed to gentleman's mackintoshes. Pause on the way to look at evening wraps marked down from five guineas to 98/11. It seems a sweeping reduction, but I do not require an evening wrap.
9.10 to 10.15. Try on evening wraps. Select a perfectly sweet Rose du Barri duvetyn lined gris foncé.
10.15. Continuing to head for mackintoshes. The course runs past a job-line in silk hosiery. Remember I ought to get stockings to go with the evening wrap.
