 What wasn't strange about the dress purchased?
Mr. Hawkins himself, acting by reflex, attempted to return the portrait to its place until new glass could be obtained. But I remember that my grandmother never bought anything from Hartshorne-Logan because of some trouble her mother had once with the firm. She found scissors in her sewing box, tossed a cushion onto the floor, sat on it, and began to open the parcel. Ann pulled out the dress and shook it into a freely hanging position. It didn't remotely resemble the dress she had admired from the Hartshorne-Logan catalogue illustration. "It's probably the wrong size, too," Ann said, pulling off Sally's dress to try it on.
