fashionistas had time to peer into expensive shop windows at stylish bangles and rings , watches and necklaces , squinting so hard in their efforts to make out the cunningly obscured prices that they well-nigh did themselves an injury ; they had time to be lured in and parleyed with by someone so very genteel and clearly up at heel and with whom they would feign complete indifference to the price , being interested only in the look ; they had time to compare , time to picture , time to talk , time even to buy from time to time .
