“Ah!  Welcome!  I haven’t had a visitor in quite some time.  Please, come in.  I am so glad you have found my humble tailor shop.  Not many people know how to find it.
“Oh, I see.  One of my associates referred you to me.  Excellent.  I am the finest tailor in the town, if I do say so myself.  What is it you are looking for?
“Why, yes!  You need a nice suit.  Why don’t you come into the back, here, and I’ll get you all measured up.”
And that’s the last time I saw that poor gent.  I even believe that was the last anyone would see him.  That is alive, anyway.
I’m quite excitable when it comes to getting new customers.  I don’t often get to make new suits.  I find it sad that I don’t get repeat customers here, but it comes with my level of artistry.
You see, when I make a piece of clothing, it’s one-of-a-kind.  I don’t do repeat performances.  I used to work in a clothing shop.  There, I made generic and bland clothing.  I tired of that, and quit my old job to move out here to start my own business.
It’s quiet and remote here, so I can safely be as eccentric with my trade as I wish.  I believe you may have seen some of my works at the museum.  They are the most unique and unsolved garments and I am proud to see people admire them, even if they don’t know it’s my genius.
But I digress in telling you that.  Now hold still while I measure you.
