She went from shop to shop hoping that she would find that scarf and she came across a silk scarf that she so badly wanted in one of the shops. The problem was that she did not have enough money and it happened to be that the shop does not except cheques at all. So she insisted to offer the shopkeeper the cheque but the man refused. The friend tried also convincing the man just by letting him know how important was Mrs. Nebo, but this man pointed to a strip of cardboard which signaled scarlet that no credit, no cheque only cash is allowed and she felt offended. So the other shopkeepers from the other shop came to see what was going on and the heard the whole story and also tried to talk through the shopkeeper by accepting the cheque but he still refused.
