Was She An Angel In Disguise?

The moment she sat down; at her table she made an impression, first impression counts, it’s true what they say. She couldn’t help it, she just had to say, “I love your hair and your smile.” The Trader, it seemed was in awe, she couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Irene was selling her gold, that she had been given, over the years, from her family and husband and friends. She started from one end and went on to tell of her story of how she had been given her treasures, the Trader was really impressed.

The Trader Alison, put down one hundred pounds, then two hundred then three, more money followed until there was six hundred tops. David then came to the table and said to Irene. “It is Alison’s money and she needs to make a respectable profit.”

Irene looked at Trader and said, “A wee bit more Alison please?” Alison’s replied just floored me, for she looked at this amazing woman, who she was completely smitten with and she said, to Irene.

“Because I’m so taken with you, I hate that you have had to ask for more,” Lovely Irene replied, “I’m sorry.” Alison replied, “I tell you want I’m going to do; I’m going to give you seven hundred and ten pounds.” Ali said.

“I think you are delightful and I want to do well by you.” Alison, gave Irene ten pounds more than her gold hoard was worth, thus giving herself no profit at all. That’s a first for savvy Alison.

From the moment, she sat down at her table, Irene’s presence captivated the Trader, that even us at home who were not in her presence, we too were in awe of her aura, we saw what Alison saw.

Was she or wasn’t she an Angel in disguise? I wondered if Alison from the telly, kept one or all of the gold items for herself, or did she sell them on, I tried to see her on Facebook as I wanted to ask her, why she was SO Smitten.
