The expensive shops in a famous arcade(有拱廊的街道) near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop, was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had onlyjust finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet (天鹅绒). After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.
