// Harriet, upon returning from the mall, is happily describing her four shoe
// purchases to her friend Aurora. Aurora just loves the four different kinds 
// of shoes that Harriet bought (ecru espadrilles, fuchsia flats, purple 
// pumps, and suede sandals), but Harriet can't recall at which different store 
// (Foot Farm, Heels in a Handcart, The Shoe Palace, or Tootsies) she got each 
// pair. Can you help these two figure out the order in which Harriet bought
// each pair of shoes, and where she bought each? 
// 
// 1. Harriet bought fuchsia flats at Heels in a Handcart.
// 2. The store she visited just after buying her purple pumps was not Tootsies.
// 3. The Foot Farm was Harriet's second stop.
// 4. Two stops after leaving The Shoe Place, Harriet bought her suede sandals.
