Show v. Had the Enthusiasm, ': ,1: A clerk was showing a shopper some parasols. The man had a good command com-mand of language and knew how to speak of the good qualities and show up the best points of goods. As he picked up a parasol from the lot on the counter and opened it, he struck an attitude of admiration and, holding it up to the light, said: "Now, madam, isn't it lovely? Look at the silk; particularly observe the quality, the finish, the general effect Feel it; pass your hand over it. No nonsense about that parasol, is there?" he said, as he handed it to the lady. "Isn't it a beauty only $5." "Yes," said the lady; "that's my old one. I just laid it down there." |
