700 Common Words Exercise No. 26
It was just a day at the office like any other. Being
there first, as she nearly always was, Penny took the cover off her machine and
have the machine a quick clean. This did not take long because Penny did it
each day, and the machine was, therefore, kept in very good condition. From
time to time she oiled it is well, and because of these kind attention the
machine caused her no trouble. She then cleaned Mr. White’s table, making quite
sure that everything was ready and in order. Mr. White was quite a good
employer and easy to work with, as a rule, but he did sometimes make a scene if
small things went wrong. So Penny had found out that the best thing to do was
to make sure that nothing went wrong. By the time all these small matters had
been seen to, Miss West had come in. Penny and Miss West both worked for Mr.
White. Penny was only 17 years of age and had been in the office for less than
a year, whereas Miss West was 22 and had been in the office for less than a
year, whereas Miss West was 22 and had been with Mr. White for 4 years. Penny
did not mind being under Miss West because she knew that she had not yet had
enough experience to take the full responsibilities herself, and moreover Miss
West was almost always kind and helpful. Of course, if Mr. White made life
difficult for Miss West for any reason, she then passed it on and made things
difficult for Penny, but on the whole all was quite peaceful and such upsets
did not last long. Miss West opened her notebook and began to complete letters
left over from the day before, while Penny put answered letters away and placed
copies of letters sent out into the Letter Book. They worked without speaking
for about half an hour. Then the door opened once again and Mr. White passed
through the office on the way to his own room, which opened out of the general
office. He was small man with quick movements, a man who seemed to be able to
get through a great amount of work in no time at all. He seemed, too, to
remember the smallest details of everything that had happened. He remembered
the names of all of his customers, and he always considered their personalities
when writing or speaking to them. He often used to remark that it was not only
the quality of a product that made it easy to sell a thing: it was also an
understanding of the person to whom the goods were to be sold. If the customer
liked you and believed that you liked him, he used to say, the sale was already
half way towards being made. Having read through the morning’s letters which he
liked to open himself Mr. White called Miss West into his office to take down
some answers. Penny went off, as she did each morning during the winter months,
to heat up some milk. She took this in for Mr. White and Miss West. Often,
however, Miss West’s milk went cold because, as she said: He never stops
speaking for long enough for me to touch it! In the summer months, of course,
the morning drink was something very cold, and Miss West’s trouble was that it
became warm before she could touch it! In the summer months, of long enough for
me to touch it! In the summer months, of course, the morning drink was
something very cold, and Miss West’s trouble was that it became warm before she
could touch it! And so the events of the day were much as they always were. As
it was a Wednesday, however, Penny went out at 12.30 to a little place near to
the office where the meals were rather better than at most places which were within
her means. The meal cost a little more than on other days of the week but she
went there happily because six girls of her own age and from her old school met there each Wednesday to have a
meal together and to exchange news and views. Penny looked forward to these
Wednesday meetings very much. The girls talked freely of any difficulties they
met with in their work, and she was able to learn more about office life in
this way than would have been possible in one small office.
