An
office
boy
approached
her
.
“
Who
is
it
you
wish
to
see
?
”
he
asked
.
“
I
want
to
see
the
manager
,
”
she
said
.
He
ran
away
and
spoke
to
one
of
a
group
of
three
men
who
were
conferring
together
.
One
of
these
came
towards
her
.
“
Well
?
”
he
said
coldly
.
The
greeting
drove
all
courage
from
her
at
once
.
“
Do
you
need
any
help
?
”
she
stammered
.
“
No
,
”
he
replied
abruptly
,
and
turned
upon
his
heel
.
She
went
foolishly
out
,
the
office
boy
deferentially
swinging
the
door
for
her
,
and
gladly
sank
into
the
obscuring
crowd
.
It
was
a
severe
setback
to
her
recently
pleased
mental
state
.
Now
she
walked
quite
aimlessly
for
a
time
,
turning
here
and
there
,
seeing
one
great
company
after
another
,
but
finding
no
courage
to
prosecute
her
single
inquiry
.
High
noon
came
,
and
with
it
hunger
.
She
hunted
out
an
unassuming
restaurant
and
entered
,
but
was
disturbed
to
find
that
the
prices
were
exorbitant
for
the
size
of
her
purse
.
A
bowl
of
soup
was
all
that
she
could
afford
,
and
,
with
this
quickly
eaten
,
she
went
out
again
.
It
restored
her
strength
somewhat
and
made
her
moderately
bold
to
pursue
the
search
.
In
walking
a
few
blocks
to
fix
upon
some
probable
place
,
she
again
encountered
the
firm
of
Storm
and
King
,
and
this
time
managed
to
get
in
.
Some
gentlemen
were
conferring
close
at
hand
,
but
took
no
notice
of
her
.
She
was
left
standing
,
gazing
nervously
upon
the
floor
.
When
the
limit
of
her
distress
had
been
nearly
reached
,
she
was
beckoned
to
by
a
man
at
one
of
the
many
desks
within
the
near
-
by
railing
.
“
Who
is
it
you
wish
to
see
?
”
he
required
.
