Maybe she simply wanted to try them out in peace and quiet at home before deciding if she wanted to pay such a humungous price. Surely, she would either have brought them back or paid for them at a later date?!?!?

Of course he is an expert - he was able to send you a spam with all your shields up!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Indeed thou say Sirrah? Most assuredly I am forsooth fain of this intelligence!
The Dutchesse of Devonshire doth disrobe her habiliment? For her cicisbeo, I presume?
