After the preliminary questions, which were asked with impressive solemnity, he demanded, "Did you not leave the shop on Tuesday evening, and pass up the Avenue to Street?" "Yes, sir." "Did you not look back twice, to see if you were followed?" "I may have looked back." "You don't deny it, then?" "No, sir." "Did not Mr. Bissel, the floor-walker, join you in Street, before you had gone very far?"
When I entered I approached the "floor-walker," and handing him my sample, said: "Have you any calico like this?" "Yes, sir," said he. "Third counter to the right." I went to the third counter to the right, and showed my sample to the salesman in attendance there. He looked at it on both sides. Then he said: "We haven't any of this." "I was told you had," said I.
In fine hotels, yes but fine hotels were the common refuge of butcher, baker, floor-walker, thief, swell, and each had approximately the same attention; and all she now felt she had really learned were a few such matters as the use of table silver and finger bowls.
There's another with the feet knocked off. I'll get permission to take the two dolls up to the toy-mender's room, and have the head of the other put on your doll; that will make it as good as new." When order was restored, she made her request of the floor-walker. "All right," he answered.
"Do you think you would like a tan jacket better than a blue one, Hester?" she asked as the floor-walker was conducting them toward the coat department. "I think so, Auntie. But you select what you think is best." Debby made known her wants to the sales-woman. Jackets of tan and blue, of many sizes and shades were brought forth and tried on Hester.
But you are not so likely to be aware that the floor-walker himself is the agent of a rival concern placed in the department store to keep track, not only of prices but of whether or not the wholesalers are living up to their agreements in regard to the furnishing of particular kinds of goods only to one house; or that the conductor on the car is a paid detective of the company, whose principal duty is not to collect fares, but to report the doings of the unions; or that the gentleman who is accidentally introduced to you at the wedding breakfast is employed by a board of directors to get a line on your host's business associates and social companions.
It was all very well to make an extra effort to oblige one occasionally; but if she did it every time she was exhorted to, surely her tired feet would give out before the end of the day. "Cash is so poky!" complained the salesgirl to her companion behind the counter. "Hie you, Cash! Hustle I say!" called the floor-walker peremptorily, as he passed.
He, curiously enough, had some fifteen minutes before gone in at the same doorway, questioned the same floor-walker, and he found himself in due time walking amongst a bewildering lot of models on the third floor, followed by a giggling saleswoman. "What kind of a dress do you want, sir?" asked the saleslady, for we are impelled to call her so. "S-silk cloth," said Jethro.
Was he not Mr. Bennet? Mr. Platt, the floor-walker to whom Mrs. Bixby had complained of Jessie, was also an assistant manager, and he was very glad to have the facts in this particular case, he said, when Arethusa and Mr. Bennet had hunted him up; Arethusa to do most of the talking, and Mr.
"Old friends," echoed Jimmy, painfully conscious of the ex-policeman's eyes, which were boring holes in him. "Excellent, excellent! Let me take you to your room. It is just opposite my own.
