The measurement process for Canillas' suit ran for about an hour.
In Canillas' mind, it would have been shorter if there were no enthusiastic conversation that was built between his wife and Mr. Simone. To be precise, it was the older man who was enthusiastic to share the update about his just-married daughter, who seemed to have an old acquaintance with his wife.
During the process, Canillas only took part in the measurement of his body. The other parts, including material selection, he had trusted to the young madam of von Rodega, his wife, and he heard her simply say that everything should be made like how her father and her brother made the suits.
When it was time for the payment, his wife took part as well. She prevented him from paying the suit, as she said that it was a gift for him from her father. To show his respect to his father-in-law, Canillas, of course, had no choice but to obey.
