To this music the young lambs bound as to a tabor, and the London shop-girl skips rudely in the dance. For it puts a spirit of gladness in all hearts; and to look on the happy side of nature is common, in their hours, to all created things.
She had pictured him a dragon. The Angel loved him, but the Angel was such a saint, and would love any old husband. Clo expected to see a grumpy graybeard. Roger expected to see a washed-out invalid of indefinite type, a young woman of the shabbiest shop-girl order. What Clodagh saw, when she followed Mrs.
Eden's standing after meeting him in our house! To tell you the truth, I think it was kind of Eden to mention the matter to me. It was as if he had said in so many words, 'If your visitors and dearest friends are chosen from the shop-girl class, you will find it a rather difficult matter to better your position in the world." "I am very sorry you have been annoyed, Merton.
I've done my share in this business; you never asked me for anything I could give you that you didn't get; you've never been tied down to housework like other women; you're not raising a family of kids go ahead, tell every shop-girl in San Francisco all about it, in the papers, and see how much sympathy you get!" "Oh, you BEAST!" Cherry said, between her teeth, furious tears in her eyes.
If he behaved as inoffensively as at Richmond, acquaintance with him might be continued for the variety it brought into her life. If anything unpleasant happened, she had only to walk away.

If your father is forced to make an assignment, we must ask no one's pity. My child, be prepared to become a simple shop-girl. If I see you accepting your life courageously, I shall have strength to begin my life over again. I know your father, he will not keep back one farthing; I shall resign my dower; all that we possess will be sold.
"The people I was with now were kind and sympathetic. They did not know about my past life only my prospective husband knew he, of course, knew all. The others thought I was a poor shop-girl, tired and overworked.
The consul, who found that his watch required extensive repairing, and had suddenly developed an inordinate passion for cairngorms, watched her as she opened the show-case with no affectation of unfamiliarity with her occupation, but with all her old serious concern. Surely she would have made as thorough a shop-girl as she would His half-formulated thought took the shape of a question.
My youthful imaginations, as I have already mentioned, were of a realistic order, and it had been a favorite scheme with me to become a shop-girl. So when this sorrow overwhelmed me, I thought seriously of going out into the world to seek my fortune in some such capacity.
