On returning, the young person requested Nancy to follow her up the shop, and led into a glass-partitioned office, where, at a table covered with fashion-plates, sat a middle-aged man, with a bald head of peculiar lustre. He rose and bowed; Nancy repeated her request. 'Could I despatch a message for you, madam? 'My business is private.
What was the great work that was to place no limit on her advancement? It was a feeling rather than a thought. For a moment she stood in her glass-partitioned office after she had received the message and a smile of great happiness lit her eyes. She was desperately earnest with a singleness of purpose which had in it something of the recklessness of the father before her.
At the end of that time, they made their way to the dining room, which was already filled with eager women. In one corner was a private room, glass-partitioned.

At the head of the second staircase there is a little glass-partitioned room, where the servants sit when they are unemployed. In this room, reading a French newspaper, she found Paul Deulin's servant, a well-trained person.
