Needless to say that she spent every free second during her last visit convincing me to visit the shoe shop.  She didn&#8217;t manage to get me in though.  When she realized that she was failing, she tried to scare me with the promise that she will send me something from Moscow without consulting me and withoug me trying those shoes on first.  And that she&#8217;d insist on me wearing them.  Oh, well.  That didn&#8217;t scare me at all.  She actually went into the shop trying to find something suitable and realized that it wasn&#8217;t that easy.
