Sowerbutt's Hats

Sowerbutt grinned: “My Polly has gone into millinery, George. She has taken over a hat factory in Luton, her war work. She has some very talented designers, I’m told.”

He carefully took an elegant toque out of its box and laid a well-cut turban as well on the cluttered desk.
His face a picture, the chief buyer at Marshall & Snelgrove took hold of the toque, bedecked with velvet flowers, and held it up. He gasped: “Oh my, Mr Sorbay, beautiful, just beautiful. I love it, I could sell this tenfold in seconds. It’s a sensation.”
