`` Shure , Mr. Charles , you had said you was not to be disturbed on no account , and that I was to bring in no messages . '' `` Did you tell those ladies that ? What time were they here ? '' `` About five o'clock -- just after you had shut the dure , and the clerks was gone . Indeed , and they did n't wait for no reply , but hearin ' you were in there , they druv ' off the minute they give me the card . The pretty young lady did n't like the looks of our office , I reckon . '' It was of no use to storm at Bill .
