Under her witch-robes, she had worn cotton knickers, a bra, a long-sleeved black shirt made of a light jersey knit, a pleated black skirt with a zipper, and a pair of elasticated black tights, 40 deniers. Peeking out under the robes’ hem had been a pair of black patent-leather pumps. She had purchased all of these items at Selfridges the day after her last fitting for the black robes, spending an exorbitant amount of money she had withdrawn from an ATM on Oxford Street.
