Mr. Kean looked at the sketch, which she pointed a finger: - Ah, so! That, at the request of Mrs. Gardner. - Who is this? - One of my best client, Miss. Moreover, she is my friend. I have just finished work on a special order for it - proudly explained to Mr. Kean - I hope that it will remain happy with them - he added another, humble, tone. - Why? - Victoria turned to it. - Do, I complied with its special order several months ago, and we have emerged with him some trouble. - Nepriyatnosti? - This is a long history. - I ask you, tell her - exclaimed Victoria - After all I have time to listen to it while I'm waiting for their shoes, is not it? If I missed dinner and late for an appointment, then at least tell me amusing history.

Mr. Kean shook his head: - This story is not suited to be a cause for gossip. Victoria was met uprashivat Mr. Keene to tell her, and was ready pledged promise not to tell anyone it, but it suddenly came to mind another thought. - Do not want, as you want - cold promolvila it. Otvernuvshis from him, Victoria withdrew from alkova and sat in an armchair, facing in the exhibition room.

Mr. Kean should not be rushed for: - Please do not offend, missiViktoriya silent. She put their bare hands on the handles of upholstered chairs and otkinulas back. She zakinula one foot to another and poshevelila kicked in the boots so that the top golenischa slightly pohlopali on her ankle. She looked closely at the bottom-up and Mr. Searchgals - the red boots. Keene in povisshey silence met their views, yet he did not look down, but on the floor, but on her boots. She again poshevelila feet, and on the smooth surface of a rubber pipe up a brilliant glare reflected light. Finally, she proiznesla: - I really want you to tell me a story about Mrs.

Gardner and her unusual job. I insist on this. I ordered you to tell me everything. The last words of her voice became tough, gray eyes were steel, lips szhalis. Huby Mr. Keene, on the contrary, suddenly to begin to tremble: - If you so strongly, Miss Martins-Yes, insist! And quickly spread all - demanded Victoria, descending leg back to the soft carpet with a slight knock while consciousness for the first time use its new, unusual force. - I'm having difficulties with the shipment of finished shoes - began Mr.

Kean - One of the services Houses Footwear is the possibility of delivering our boots on any specified address. First, I have to kick up a din orders, passing in the evenings vast distances with three or four orders in the back seat of my car: each pair of boots had been packed in a beautiful box, everything was done to Lady were dovolnyi-Lady? - Peresprosila Victoria. - I belong to all my zakazchitsam as Lady - explained to Mr. Kean, - Although for many years to buy my boots and women from higher society. - As I have told you, the time went, I got more and more orders, and I wanted to shop was opened round the clock, and I started tired of journeys.

Besides the prestige for the company, it would be good to have a courier, delivering orders - a good car, attractive young man. I do not think that clothe it in a special uniform - he said, as if Victoria asked about it - I believe that for more than a courier came to a really good poshity business attire. I think ladies prefer that men dressed like that obrazomiV eyes of Victoria appeared bored expression. Her face and mouth vytyanulos widely revealed, giving a chance to see her throat.

She loudly zevnula. - If you do not mind, Mr. Kean, - said she still swab - close to the case. When she said this, surprised and scared itself, surprised his indecent behaviour and his brazen scared to vote. Or maybe it enjoyed its unceremoniously? In any event, Mr. Kean has not offended. On the contrary, he continued his story to curry favour votes, requesting indulgence slushatelnitsy: - I have many times served unusual orders for Mrs. Gardner, and when I finished that order, whic h you saw, I hired a new courier. His name was Roy, Roy Everett. As it turned out later, he was a girl named Angela.*- Yes all right, Roy! Give me just look at them. Just once! Roy does not distract from the road, but he knew that Angela deployed in his chair and looks at the rear seat machine. - No, - he said, stisnuv teeth - How many times can we talk. - I opened them only for a moment - Angela become perseverance - I just see. If you are not allowed, I do not even dotronus to them.

- When I was just beginning its case, I wanted to name his shop sapozhek House - said Mr. Kean - But I chose House Footwear, so as not to damage the business. You see, I was not sure that I can live, izgotavlivaya only exclusive boots. - It seems you could do - enchanted promolvila Victoria - Excuse me, it seems I have a few to get heated at the bottom. - All in the order, Miss. Why not examine all as it should, while you wait for your shoes. He pushed Pozhaluystai long curtains, behind a deep alcove, which probably could be called the room. He went down there and made the metal Step-ladder. By her, he took a few steps until it was lvl from the top shelf.

- I just wanted to offer you, rather than urine their shoes in such terrible weather, obut rubber sapozhki from rain. Pumps put in a bag and pereobuetes on the ground. That's very feminine sapozhki. He is already down the stairs, holding in his hand shiny black rubber boots. He put them on the floor next to the chair: - Do not want an example, Miss? Victoria looked at impermeable boots. Of course, their appearance was not inconsistent with her sense of style: each pair in this room was wonderful and made cost, probably money. Amateurcurves - skandia. And, as Mr. Kean said, this pair of boots was very feminine: pointed socks, elegant and kabluchok golenische, tightly seated in the leg and get to the part of ankle, where she increasingly whole.

She villages in the chair, took boots and right leg in prosunula golenische. Sapozhok to strive to vyskochit from hand: its external, rubber surface was slippery to the touch, but the inside lining was made of soft velvety material, which gave the leg to easily penetrate inside and took her into their cozy embrace, when the boots was obut to the end. It took a few moments longer than expected Victoria. When she left obula boots, then, sitting with both legs, obutymi in shiny boots, she felt unusually comfortable and calm as in the most gentle, sensual massage.

- Yai, me - Victoria does not find the words - They Wonderful! - Do not want to see how you see them? At a distance of several feet, next to a model fotoportretom girls stood high mirror. Victoria looked at him and saw his leaner figure, belokurye long hair, dark eyebrows, gray eyes and a firm chin, short but elegant dress, the only supplement to whom a modest thread pearls around their necks, and the completion of all this - boots. Victoria was not tscheslavna, but she knew that she had beautiful legs.

Now her graceful ankles and feet, decent kisses, were covered in rubber sapozhkami, whose natural beauty of grace stressed legs. They were concealed under the rubber, but it only attracts more attention to them. - I take them - abruptness proiznesla Victoria. Mr. Keen nodded in agreement: - you make the right choice, mission Missi? - Martins. Do you accept credit cards? - Of course. But if you do not do me a favour: I would like to ask you to sign something for me? This does not take a long time. He again went into hiding in alkove. Victoria became curious: what heis busy, invisible to them.

In the next moment she stood up and walked next to him. She moved confidently, but at the same time, she was surprised itself. This was not like it. She was impatient to learn that is behind curtains, and she was going to find out. It seemed, her brain began to work on the new, allowing Victoria to do everything exactly as she wished. In addition, she was astonished how easy it was to walk in those boots impermeable: boots were tight enough that the leg felt their weight and strength, feel secure and at the same time, it was easy and warm in them. Mr. Kean slightly vzdrognul when observed behind Victoria.

- Ouch! Please pass. One moment, I only get to the shelves client - said he delivered with a huge book shelves, - all marked here, to whom I sold the Sea boots - he opened the first page - Since 1989, just finished my previous book. Already six years. - The truth? - Victoria noticed, do not hesitate over his words. She inspects the alcove: shelves, ustavlennye boxes, books, a variety of brushes, sapozhnymi creams and other things to take care of footwear, and could not hide the light of frustration. But there was something else: a large wall plaque for notes, completely covered with pencil outline, very skillfully executed.

They were sketches of different boots, made at different times. Around the painted pencil to stand on end several sheets. Expression of Victoria changed person. - This is my idea, Miss. If a client is special order, sometimes I ask her to tell me that she would like to have, and so far, she said, trying to draw it. - Yes? - Proiznesla Victoria, not listening to him. Her attention was riveted to one outline on the board. This was not the sketch boots. Frenchcum - skandia. Probably, Mr. Kean tried to invent a logo or monogram: the wings of eagles, stars and Maltese cr osses into all sorts of combinations of letters, which apparently were an attempt to encrypt any call. Constantly repeated letter, which was larger than other letters. - What is it? - Asked Victoria.
