They made it a point of looking in another direction

when she stopped at their counters.

Finally, the lady came to a counter

that was attended by a young clerk

and she approached the young man who bowed politely to her and with a wide smile asked if he might serve her.

No, she replied, I'm just killing time, waiting for the rain to stop so that I can go home.

Very well, madam, the young man smiled.

May I bring out a chair for you?

And he brought out without even waiting for an answer.

After the rain had stopped, the young man took the lady by the arm

and escorted her to the street and bade her goodbye. As she left she asked him

for his card. Several months later the owner of the store received a letter asking that this

young man be sent to Scotland to take an order for furnishings of a home. The owner of the

store wrote back that he was sorry, but that young man did not work in the home furnishings department.

However, he explained that he would be glad to send an experienced man to do his job.
