purchased my laptop. It was 5:20 p.m., and the store would close in less than an hour. Womenswear was on the first floor {when did Ladieswear become Womenswear? I wondered} and I took the escalator, being unable to find the stairs. The shop floor was vast, and I decided to request assistance. The first woman I saw was matronly, and did not seem well placed to dispense fashion advice. The second was in her late teens or early twenties, and therefore too callow to advise me. The third, in the manner of Goldilocks, was just right-around my age, well groomed, sensible-looking. I approached with caution.
