Yep, you got us good! Well done.
Just a note on British/American vocabulary. In American English, "vest" means something akin to the British "waistcoat." I believe what Lois was wearing was probably a tank top (for a woman; the same garment on a man would be an undershirt).
I'm happy to see these little vignettes. I don't have time or energy to invest in open-ended epics these days.
Keep writing!
