There are three of us in the shop, and what with shaving and combing and hair-cutting, not one of the three has the time to stop and scratch his head, and I least of all. Many of my customers are so kind as to prefer my services to those of my two young men; perhaps because I amuse them with my little jokes.
And then came a time when he was in the store of Markham & Co., and finally was taken from the counter, because of his sharp words to customers, and set at the books, and sent away from that post because he illustrated them with caricatures on the margins, and smart personal rhymes.
The dealer whose shop is crowded with customers, who can dispose of a product almost the very moment it is completed, makes large profits, while his next neighbour, with an equal capital but fewer customers, gains comparatively little.
But he vowed after each blank day all the more resolutely that he would win her attention, secure recognition of his equality, and so be in position for laying siege to her heart. But a deadly blight suddenly came over all his hopes. One bright morning late in May two large flat boxes were brought to the store. Dennis was busy with customers, and Mr.
"She has plenty to do, and that drives care away; besides, only consider the pleasure you'll occasion to her when I come back." "I forgot that. Now, if you please, I'll call and pay my respects, and also return my grateful thanks." "Then, come along." Captain O'Donahue found Mrs McShane very busily employed supplying her customers.

By the bye, one of the two told me that they had engaged every room in that corridor. You may be able to trace him by that." Mr. Blumentein shrugged his shoulders. "That statement, at any rate, was a false one," he said. "All the rooms in the vicinity of yours were occupied by regular customers." Now, in all probability, if Mr.
Justifying himself by these and similar false reasonings, the young man thrust aside the better suggestions, from which he was at first inclined to retrace the false step he had taken; and wilfully shutting his eyes, resolved to go forward in his evil and dangerous course. During the afternoon of that day a larger number of customers than usual were in, and Claire was very busily occupied.
When he reached the place at last, he found it crowded with noisy customers about the "soda-fount"; and the clerks were stonily slow: they seemed to know that they were "already in eternity."
