‘These
measurements were took by the High Priestess herself.’
‘But
these are enormous!’
‘I
know.’
‘Perhaps
we should ask her to check them. Maybe she had something else in mind when she
wrote them down.’
‘Are
you suggesting that I question an order from the imperial office?’
Well,
no.’
‘Very
well. I will return for the garments in four days.’
‘Hang
on, that doesn’t give me a lot of time. Usually I start with templates and
alternate accordingly but with these sizes I shall have to start from scratch.’
‘The
empress is not moulded from a template.’
‘Right…right.
But we have got a lot of other customers to attend to as well you know.’
‘None
of whom are empresses I’m sure.’
‘Very
well. Sachi, how much of the imperial red do we have in at the moment?’
‘There’s
two metres left and Sandeep is delivering some more tomorrow’ said an unseen
voice from the back.
‘Get
hold of Sandeep. He’s going to need a bigger cart.’
