She was glancing about in the hope of finding the clock-department without having to approach one of the impressive gentlemen who paced the empty aisles, when she attracted the attention of one of the most impressive of the number.
"Well, it's a mercy," Evelina pursued with a tinge of disappointment. "It's a regular miracle I didn't faint right out there in the Square. Herman's so thoughtless he just put the letter into my hand without a word. It's from a big firm out there the Tiff'ny of St. Louis, he says it is offering him a place in their clock-department.
The formidable benevolence with which he enquired what he could do for her made her almost despair of explaining herself; but she finally disentangled from a flurry of wrong beginnings the request to be shown to the clock-department. The gentleman considered her thoughtfully. "May I ask what style of clock you are looking for? Would it be for a wedding-present, or ?"
Ain't it sad to think of his being reduced to that little store, after being years at Tiff'ny's, and one of the head men in their clock-department?" "He told you all that?" "Why, yes. I think he'd a' told me everything ever happened to him if I'd had the time to stay and listen. I tell you he's dead lonely, Ann Eliza." "Yes," said Ann Eliza.
"In what capacity was Ramy employed here?" he asked after a moment. "He he told us that he was one of the heads of the clock-department," Ann Eliza stammered, overswept by a sudden doubt. "That was probably a slight exaggeration. But I can tell you about him by referring to our books. The name again?" "Ramy Herman Ramy." There ensued a long silence, broken only by the flutter of leaves as Mr.
He was much less portentous than the others, though she guessed him to be above them in authority; and encouraged by his tone she seated herself on the edge of the chair he waved her to. "I hope you'll excuse my troubling you, sir. I came to ask if you could tell me anything about Mr. Herman Ramy. He was employed here in the clock-department two or three years ago." Mr.
And he told me he used to work at Tiff'ny's, oh, for years, in the clock-department, and three years ago he took sick with some kinder fever, and lost his place, and when he got well they'd engaged somebody else and didn't want him, and so he started this little store by himself. I guess he's real smart, and he spoke quite like an educated man but he looks sick."
