A dressed party salad needs to hold up for a couple of hours on a buffet table without browning or wilting.
Single mothers, elegant divorcées, spinster aunts, bored housewives, daughters, wilting violets … all in anxious anticipation as to whether the shoe will fit, fit them alone, that the prince from the fairy tale is meant for them.
It is unclear whether the decline reflects a broad reluctance to use currencies as an asset class, or whether they are suffering as a knock-on effect from wilting volumes in other markets.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
