Higbees' corner window
was traditionally a high-water mark...
:02:38
of the pre-Christmas season.
:02:42
First nighters, packed earmuff to earmuff,
jostled in wonderment...
:02:47
before a golden tinkling display...
:02:50

:03:41

:03:46
air rifle.
:03:48

of as coolly deadly-looking...
:03:57

as ever I had laid eyes on.
