I saw her standing there

Saturday morning in Hampstead and the crowds are out in force, shopping, strolling, and munching, airing their dogs and their children. It's a time to see and be seen, especially on an unseasonably balmy November day.
I couldn't help but notice that this young woman was the coolest of the lot, standing, smoking, in her black felt hat, her classic trench coat and flat shoes, absorbed in a thick proof copy/script while waiting for a door to open, an interview or an audition perhaps. Her poise and elegance contrasted with the moving throng and drew the eye.
