This
is
Miss
Todd
,
"
began
Whiggain
.
"
She
's
been
in
charge
for
about
ten
days
now
in
the
absence
of
Mrs.
Angier
.
And
what
I
want
you
to
do
now
,
Miss
Todd
,
is
to
explain
to
Mr.
Griffiths
here
just
as
quickly
and
clearly
as
you
can
what
it
is
you
do
here
.
And
then
later
in
the
day
when
he
comes
up
here
,
I
want
you
to
help
him
to
keep
track
of
things
until
he
sees
just
what
is
wanted
and
can
do
it
himself
.
You
'll
do
that
,
wo
n't
you
?
"
"
Why
,
certainly
,
Mr.
Whiggam
.
I
'll
be
only
too
glad
to
,
"
complied
Miss
Todd
,
and
at
once
she
began
to
take
down
the
books
of
records
and
to
show
Clyde
how
the
entry
and
discharge
records
were
kept
--
also
later
how
the
stamping
was
done
--
how
the
basket
girls
took
the
descending
bundles
from
the
chutes
and
distributed
them
evenly
according
to
the
needs
of
the
stamper
and
how
later
,
as
fast
as
they
were
stamped
,
other
basket
girls
carried
them
to
the
stitchers
outside
.
And
Clyde
,
very
much
interested
,
felt
that
he
could
do
it
,
only
among
so
many
women
on
a
floor
like
this
he
felt
very
strange
.
There
were
so
very
,
very
many
women
--
hundreds
of
them
--
stretching
far
and
away
between
white
walls
and
white
columns
to
the
eastern
end
of
the
building
.
And
tall
windows
that
reached
from
floor
to
ceiling
let
in
a
veritable
flood
of
light
.
These
girls
were
not
all
pretty
.
He
saw
them
out
of
the
tail
of
his
eye
as
first
Miss
Todd
and
later
Whiggam
,
and
even
Liggett
,
volunteered
to
impress
points
on
him
.
"
The
important
thing
,
"
explained
Whiggam
after
a
time
,
"
is
to
see
that
there
is
no
mistake
as
to
the
number
of
thousands
of
dozens
of
collars
that
come
down
here
and
are
stamped
,
and
also
that
there
's
no
delay
in
stamping
them
and
getting
them
out
to
the
stitchers
.
Also
that
the
records
of
these
girls
'
work
is
kept
accurately
so
that
there
wo
n't
be
any
mistakes
as
to
their
time
.
"
At
last
Clyde
saw
what
was
required
of
him
and
the
conditions
under
which
he
was
about
to
work
and
said
so
.
He
was
very
nervous
but
quickly
decided
that
if
this
girl
could
do
the
work
,
he
could
.
And
because
Liggett
and
Whiggam
,
interested
by
his
relationship
to
Gilbert
,
appeared
very
friendly
and
persisted
in
delaying
here
,
saying
that
there
was
nothing
he
could
not
manage
they
were
sure
,
he
returned
after
a
time
with
Whiggam
to
Gilbert
who
,
on
seeing
him
enter
,
at
once
observed
:
"
Well
,
what
's
the
answer
?
Yes
or
no
.
Do
you
think
you
can
do
it
or
do
you
think
you
ca
n't
?
"
"
Well
,
I
know
that
I
can
do
it
,
"
replied
Clyde
with
a
great
deal
of
courage
for
him
,
yet
with
the
private
feeling
that
he
might
not
make
good
unless
fortune
favored
him
some
even
now
.
There
were
so
many
things
to
be
taken
into
consideration
--
the
favor
of
those
above
as
well
as
about
him
--
and
would
they
always
favor
him
?
"
Very
good
,
then
.
Just
be
seated
for
a
moment
,
"
went
on
Gilbert
.
"
I
want
to
talk
to
you
some
more
in
connection
with
that
work
up
there
.
It
looks
easy
to
you
,
does
it
?
"
"
No
,
I
ca
n't
say
that
it
looks
exactly
easy
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
strained
and
a
little
pale
,
for
because
of
his
inexperience
he
felt
the
thing
to
be
a
great
opportunity
--
one
that
would
require
all
his
skill
and
courage
to
maintain
.
"
Just
the
same
I
think
I
can
do
it
.
In
fact
I
know
I
can
and
I
'd
like
to
try
.
"
"
Well
,
now
,
that
sounds
a
little
better
,
"
replied
Gilbert
crisply
and
more
graciously
.
"
And
now
I
want
to
tell
you
something
more
about
it
.
I
do
n't
suppose
you
ever
thought
there
was
a
floor
with
that
many
women
on
it
,
did
you
?
"
"
No
,
sir
,
I
did
n't
,
"
replied
Clyde
.
"
I
knew
they
were
somewhere
in
the
building
,
but
I
did
n't
know
just
where
.
"
