Description
lustre, pair "Johnston was no student although he had a talent for one subject in particular. In second term of that first year he topped the class in history. One of his Johnston aunts congratulated him by giving him £5. And where did he go to spend it but to Kozminsky, where he bought a pair of lustre candlesticks, his first purchase in a long line to follow. It is interesting to note that, at such a young age, he knew exactly where to go.
