Book Description

Excerpt from Love and the Ironmonger Nobody in the office minded much what was said unless Old Joe Fairbrother, the venerable head of the concern, happened to say it. If there was a threat Of dismissal from anybody else the threatened man affected contrition and laughed up his Sleeve. And although this general air of safety was as soothing to Thomas Parrott, the head clerk, as to anybody else, that admirable man's sense of duty compelled him to occasionally sound a warning note to his subordinates. This morning the head clerk was in a bad temper, and found fault with everybody, especially with George Early.
