Ivee stayed back a second to tell Seldon that Sophie was working and he was stuck at the counter for the rest of the day, before catching up to the queen. "I think you've got good taste," she said. "Sophie's been wanting to sell a couple of those for months, but they're a step out of the normal style around here, so nobody's given her any bites. I was her model for one of those, I have one of my own, but I'm outside all day, and if the rain hits, the ground right outside the store turns to mud, and I don't want to chance the skirt getting dirty. So I can't wear it very often. It'll do her heart good to see someone getting to wear them on a regular basis."
