Passage 1
On Wednesday afternoons Annie took the bus into Cressley to shop in the market. For an hour or so she would walk up and down between the stalls, looking at everything, buying here and there, and keeping a sharp lookout for the bargains that were sometimes to be had. And then, with all the things she needed bought, she would leave the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour in the way she liked best: looking in furniture-shop windows. There were furniture shops of all kinds in Cressley, from those where you had to stretch your neck to see the prices on the tickets to others where you could hardly see the furniture itself for the many notices offering goods at prices almost too tempting to be true.
One Wednesday she found a new shop full of the most delightful things, with a notice inviting anyone to walk in and look around without feeling they had to buy something. Annie hesitated for a moment before stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped delighted before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which said: “This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week,” and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week... Why, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it!
A voice at her shoulder made her jump. “Can I help you, Madam?” She looked round at the assistant who had come softly to her side.
“Oh, well, no,” she said, “I was just looking.”
“We’ve chairs of all kinds in the showroom. If you’ll just come up you will find something to suit you...”
Annie, although a little worried at the thought of being persuaded to buy something, couldn’t think of how to refuse. She was already being led to the back of the shop and up a few wide steps.
