Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window.

The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed.

Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold.

The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day.

She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other.

As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it.

She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.
她自得其乐地让店员把橱窗里几乎所有的衣服都拿出来，最后才买下了她最初看中的那件。
