"No," replied the shopwoman, after a sharp glance. "This is not the gentleman who bought the cloak." "You see, Mr. Denzil," said Ferruci, turning triumphantly to Lucian, "I did not buy this cloak; I am not the Italian this lady speaks of." Lucian was extremely astonished at this unexpected testimony in favour of the Count, and questioned the shopwoman sharply.
This was a pleasant surprise. I said I would take it. After I had given directions as to where it was to be shipped, the shopwoman said, appealingly: "If you please, do not let your courier know you bought it." This was an unexpected remark. I said: "What makes you think I have a courier?" "Ah, that is very simple; he told me himself." "He was very thoughtful.
These hours of drowsihead were the season of the old gentlewoman's attendance on her brother, while Phoebe took charge of the shop; an arrangement which the public speedily understood, and evinced their decided preference of the younger shopwoman by the multiplicity of their calls during her administration of affairs.
Tilda picked up herself and her crutch, and stood eyeing the shopwoman, who, summoned by the bell, had come rushing from an inner room, and in no sweet temper.

"Milly," he began at dinner, "wouldn't you like to know about your presents? But of course I shan't tell you about mine. Perhaps I'm not going to give you one at all.
I am sure I cannot be changing help all the time. She left me very abruptly. I did not ask her to come back." "Why," said Betty, wonderingly, "I thought you were her friend. Isn't she all alone in this country?" "She is a girl who seems quite able to take care of herself," the grim shopwoman said. "Or she is determined to try. I advised her to write to her aunt "

"She's the best and most attractive shopwoman I ever had; she shall come back immediately after Christmas." He hurried Alison through the shop into his own little counting-house. He shut the door then, and asked her to seat herself. "How are you?" he said, fixing his eyes with a sort of coarse admiration on her face. "You have got at the truth of this miserable matter, have you not?
I explained my situation to the shopwoman, who seemed to take an interest in me, and began speaking to her husband in Flemish or Walloon, and finally informed me that if it were only for a few days she and her husband would sleep in the shop and give up their room to me. But she said that she had absolutely no room whatever for my man. "I haven't got one." "All the better.
