It was a little small shop just the right size for
Dolls — Lucinda and Jane Doll-cook always
bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.
The counter inside was a convenient height
for rabbits. Ginger and Pickles sold red spotty
pocket- handkerchiefs at a penny three
farthings.
They also sold sugar, and snuff and
galoshes.
In fact, although it was such a small shop it
sold nearly everything — except a few things that
you want in a hurry — like bootlaces, hair-pins
and mutton chops.
