Miss Marple had a very enjoyable time at Robinson& Cleaver's. Besides purchasing expensive but delicioussheets – she loved linen sheets with their texture and theircoolness – she also indulged in a purchase of good qualityred-bordered glass-cloths. Really the difficulty in getting proper glass-cloths nowadays!Instead, you were offered things that might as well have been ornamental tablecloths,decorated with radishes or lobsters or the Tour Eiffel or Trafalgar Square, or elselittered with lemons and oranges. Having given her address in St. Mary Mead, Miss Marplefound a convenient bus which took her to the Army & Navy Stores.

　　The Army & Navy Stores had been a haunt of MissMarple's aunt in days long gone. It was not, of course, quitethe same nowadays. Miss Marple cast her thoughts back to Aunt Helen seeking out her ownspecial man in the grocery department, settling herself comfortably in a chair, wearing abonnet and what she always called her "black poplin" mantle. Then there would ensure a long hour with nobody in a hurry and AuntHelen thinking of every conceivable grocery that could be purchased and stored up forfuture use. Christmas was provided for, and there was even a far-off look towards Easter.The young Jane had fidgeted somewhat, and had been told to go and look at the glassdepartment by way of amusement.
