The new shoes were paid for with time itself.
Two women came this day, in search of an artisan to make them a pair of shoes from scratch.
Not just repair some cheaply-made shoes, but to get a proper pair of hand-crafted, custom-fit, proper shoes.
Price was no object.
The shoemaker took the measurements of the younger lady's feet.
"Two weeks." He quoted them.
"And if we work as apprentices?"

"You two are angels?"
Betty shrugged. "We've been called that, but I would just say that we are two old souls who want a Master to teach them nearly-forgotten skills."
"For two years, you have a deal. And the shoes you will earn, so there is no additional cost."
They started that afternoon, and by sunset, the shoes were completed...
