With a flourish , and the ease of a master salesman , he waved the cool, silky, soft fabric in my face and pronounced,"this madam, here is the finest thing you can ever hope to buy."
Layering the fabric on a growing pile of shawls, he slapped his thigh with genuine , childlike enthusiasm, to heighten the dramatic effect.
Eyes gleaming and darting at having registered interest, espying a possible customer, He added, with greater joy, "This,"waving his wandless hand like a magician"is pashmina, the finest wool in the world."
"Yes,yes, we heard that, " my practical husband's rejoinder came , almost immediately; testily adding"how much?"
I could sense a storm coming up, and reluctant to create a scene , in front of all those people, I put down the shawl with a resigned air.
His face immediately clouded over.
Like a seasoned seller, he knew it when the battle was over.
