“You’ll get used to it.” Charlie assured as he washed the last few pots. “Right… I’ll just leave them to drain for a minute whilst we sort out your apron.”
“What’s wrong with it?” Mike asked.
“I’ll show you.” Charles took his friend into the hallway and parked him in front of the mirror. “Instead of just tying any old bow, you need to make sure that the tails are pretty much the same length, that the bow isn’t too big and the hoops aren’t hanging or twisted.” Charlie explained, retying Mike’s apron so it’s more like his own. “There.” he said.
Mike claimed that the tails are too long when the bow is so small, but Charles said that the bow needs to be able to hold its own weight so it looks presentable and the length of the tails don’t matter.
