- Would you like a few samples of cream?, she asked as she shoved the mascara I had just bought into a bag.
- Why not?, I replied.
So she opened a drawer and chose a few tubes for me, which she threw in with the mascara, and then handed me the paper bag over the counter.
- Good day Madame, she smiled.
When I got home, I poured the contents of the bag onto the kitchen table: six tubes of anti-wrinkle cream.
