How did Miss Pross always get bargains when shopping despite her total lack of French? What is her attitude towards the French language?
Answers
Miss Pross used to bargain by holding up one finger less than what the shopkeeper used to raise for the price of a good.
- The question has been asked from the Story a Tale of two cities by Charles Dickens.
- For Miss Pross Shopping was a way of telling only the name of what she wanted without any other discussion.
- If that didn't happen she 'd look around for the thing she wanted, grab that, and keep it on until she had paid for it. She often bargained down the price by putting one finger below the figure the shopkeeper kept up.
- Miss Pross had a reluctant attitude towards the French language. Although she knew a French family and thought she might learn French a bit, the case was the opposite.
