When you've finished with this lady, I shall be so much obliged if you can speak to me for a minute." She bowed her head quite a polite, ordinary sort of bow, just like that of any well-trained saleslady to a prospective customer intending to wait till she was free. But really it did not mean politeness at all.
"What shades of silk would you like, sir?" "Shades? shades? What do you mean by shades?" "Why, colors," said the saleslady, giggling openly. "Green," said Jethro, with considerable emphasis. The saleslady clapped her hand over her mouth and led the way to another model. "You don't call that green do you? That's not green enough."
The Saleslady gave her a glance of intense disapproval, pushed down her generous waist-line, arrogantly patted a coal-black transformation, and wheeled with open indignation. "That's nice," said Carlisle, to the factory-girl. "Then the presents come as a surprise to him." "Surprise no, ma'am. He don't never know.
Bell was one of those six-foot, low-voiced products, formed from a union of the West and the South. I liked him. To look at him you would think he should be robbing stage coaches or juggling gold mines with both hands; but he would sell you a paper of tacks or a spool of thread, with ten times more patience and courtesy than any saleslady in a city department store.
The friendly air of the place made her pluck up courage to speak. "Saleslady? Yes, we do want one. Have you any one to recommend?" the young woman asked, not unkindly.
It meant that she had to hide her face, and that it was taking every square inch of nerve force she had to behave in the least like a saleslady. It was seeing Peter Rolls suddenly Peter Rolls in flesh and bone and muscle and magnetism of eyes, which told her in a devastating flash a thing about herself she had feared for months ever since the day she turned her back upon Mr.
Here was a reason that dispensed with all others, but even though it was too large, Perrine found the skirt and waist that went with it very pretty, and the saleslady assured her that with a little alteration is would suit her beautifully, and of course she had to believe her.
They're the people. So it's drums, and dolls, and sheep on wheels, and games, and monkeys on a stick, and the saleslady shows you a mechanical bear, and it costs too much, and you forget whether the Judge's second girl is Nellie or Susie, and well, I'm just in for my annual circus this afternoon! You're in luck. Christmas don't trouble a chap fixed like you."
I was just about to ask her the fatal question when a young man wearing a ragtime expression on his face rushed up and said to the young lady behind the counter, "I am looking for a suitable present for a young lady friend of mine with golden brown hair. Could you please suggest something?" The saleslady showed her teeth and answered him in a low, rumbling voice, and the man went away.
In her daytime capacity of saleslady in a Grand Street shoe store she would have called "cash," but as President of the Lady Hyacinths her speech was: "If none of you goils ain't got no more business to lay before the meetin' a movement to adjoin is in order." "I move we adjoin an git to woik," said Mamie Kidansky promptly.
