Buying Gloves in Gibraltar
A very handsome young lady in the store PROPOSED / SUGGESTED / PUT FORWARD / OFFERED me a pair of blue gloves. I did not want blue, but she said they would look very pretty on a hand like mine. The remark touched me tenderly. I SAW / GLANCED / STUDIED / WATCHED furtively at my hand, and somehow it did seem rather a comely member. I tried a glove on my left hand and blushed. Obviously, the size was too small for me. The lady said, ‘Oh! I see you are accustomed AT / BY / WITH / TO wearing kid gloves while some gentlemen are so awkward about putting them on.’
It was the last compliment I had expected. I only understand about putting on the buckskin article perfectly. I MADE / DID / TOOK / GAVE another effort, and tore the glove from the base of the thumb into the palm of the hand, and tried to hide the tear. She kept up her compliments, and I kept up my determination to TAKE / GIVE / DESERVE / RESERVE them or die.
I was hot, vexed, confused, yet still happy, but I hated the other boys for taking such an absorbing interest in the proceedings. To TELL / SPEAK / SAY / TALK the truth, I felt exquisitely mean when I said cheerfully, ‘This one does very well; it CORRESPONDS / IS / SITS / FITS elegantly. No, never mind, ma’am, never mind, I’ll put the other one in the street. It is warm here.’
I paid the bill, and, as I passed out with a fascinating bow, I thought I detected a light in the woman’s eye that was gently ironical, and when I looked back from the street, she was laughing to herself about something. I tried to remember why I had entered the store in the first place, and whether I should return tomorrow to complete my initial mission.
