　　Lesson 75 The big stores in London
Gretel and Mrs Clark went shopping in the centre of London yesterday.
"I'd like to know which store you like best in Lindon, Mrs Clark," Gretel said.
"Now tht's a difficult question," Mrs Clark replied. "I just haven't any idea which store I like best. There are so many huge stores in London. I suppose Selfridges must be the biggest. There' so much variety there. I can usually find what I'm looking for. Then there's Liberty's. It's such a lovely building. Harrods is very famous, too. It's such a smart store. I love all the big stores in London because you can walk round and nobody bothers you. Nobody tries to sell you anything-unless you want to buy something. Sometimes I go window-shopping, or just wander round a store and look at the things on display. The big stores are one of the sights of London. I went to the sales in January. That was one of the sights of London, too! My goodness¹! The crowds! But it was worth it. I bought some lovely things very cheaply². It was good fun. but very exhausting³."
