She told an exhausted floor-walker that she wanted to buy a dressmaking form. And, spent as he was, he reflected a little of her own animation in his unusually precise reply; had, indeed, a little of it left over for his next inquirer. Something automatic in her mind took charge of Rose and delivered her, presently, unconscious of intervening processes, at the counter where the forms were sold.
But all the day she suffered from an almost overwhelming desire to recite her sorrow to the world to the paying teller at the bank, to the elderly floor-walker in Salinger's, to the blind woman, guided by a little boy, who played on the concertina to every one save the policeman. The police were new and terrible creatures to her now.
Papa knows that without adventure you make no discoveries. But, wow! he did make a monkey of me. Just think of a floor-walker making a monkey of papa!" He pressed his hand to his brow. "Why, a floor-walker has been my especial delicacy he has been my appetizer, my white-meat but, wow! this fellow was a gristle." "Mr. Flummers," said McGlenn, "we all love you." "Say, John, I owe you two dollars."
The floor-walker suddenly turned his attention in their direction, which added to her agitation. But she need not have worried quite so much; her first customer made a sturdy champion of any cause, and she was still most undaunted, lorgnette or no lorgnette.
He knew all the time that that was all was left to him, but he snatched at everything. He could not obtain the floor-walker position of which he had spoken to Anderson. He thought that possibly his fine presence and urbane manner might recommend him for a place of that sort, but it was already filled. He went to several of the great department stores and inquired if there was a vacancy.
Cynthia laughed outright, since Ephraim could not by any chance have worn any of the articles in question. "Why, Cousin Ephraim," she exclaimed, "you can't buy gentlemen's things here." "Oh, I guess you can," said Ephraim, and hobbled confidently in at the doorway. There we will leave him for a while conversing in an undertone with a floor-walker, and follow Jethro.
I ain't goin' to resemble just me myself, standin' up to be married in a coat-suit you get some floor-walker to pick out for me. White satin or nothin'. An' a veil and white satin slippers." He looked at her helplessly. "White satin, my dear? And a veil?" "Yes, sir. An' a shower bokay," said she, firmly. "I got to insist on the shower bokay.
The trunk had to be put off, and so we threw the dog off with the trunk!" Not the Kind She Wanted "Which way, please, to the corset department?" she asked of the floor-walker. "Straight back, madam." "No, not straight back," was the reply. "I want a straight front." His Last Request Why He Really Wanted to Go
His eyes were of such a bulge as to give him a spacious range of vision without having to turn his head, and while moving about in the discharge of his duty, he often saw sudden situations that were not intended for his entertainment. Brooks was prepared for the meeting, and conducted himself with a dignity that would have cast no discredit upon the ablest floor-walker in Christendom.
You look so sick. For heaven's sake, go home and rest." "I can't afford to go home." Cross and snappish as the girls were, they managed to spare Kitty, and to stand in front of her to conceal her idleness from the floor-walker, and give her a few minutes' occasional rest sitting down.
