After Albert had kept the shop, he is almost certainly about what just happened between him and Maggie. This gives a chance for Maggie, to talk about courtship to Alice. Maggie Notice that slipper with a fancy belt buckle on to produce it fairly? Courting that way, my lass. All glitter and no use for nobody.
