<<Opening Bell>>

After chatting for some time prior to opening, the bell has rung and the staff has hurriedly taken their places and await the first customer(s). In the meantime, while they wait, chit-chat continues and starts reflecting on happenings in their lives as well as anticipation of what the first customer will buy.

Will there be any customers? Only time will tell.

There probably won't be any customers today, not in this weather. I surprised you're here at all, Mr Lucas! I would have thought you of all people would have taken this chance to have a day off.

Well I'm saving for me holidays again. I hope we get some people in. Has any one heard from Miss Brahams?

slocombe Well really it is too bad we haven't heard from Miss Brahams today. I guess that leaves all the commission for me. Oh look here comes a customer now and she's headed our way.

May I help you madam?
I need a pair of gloves please.
What size?
I'm not sure.
Mrs. Slocumbe gets the gloves drawer out and begins letting the customer try them on.
The customer complained about the chilly temperatures and wanted to know if Grace Brothers had anything to help keep out the cold. Mrs. Slocumbe takes her into the fitting room to show her the line of women's long underware they've gotten in. Apparently that did the trick as the customer wants to wear them out. Mrs. Slocumbe writes up the receipt. Well that's 25 pounds in a sale for me!

<Miss Brahms runs down the stairs, umbrella in her hands. She makes a dash towards the Ladies' Department>

"Sorry I'm late Mrs. Slocombe."

Yes, yes, I would've Mr. Humphries. <nodding while stating> If it wasn't for me crippled mum, chisling the door open and sweeping the stairs while I ate me breakfast, I would'nt have made it in at all.
Blimey, I haven't seen this much snow showers since I was a wee lad. Luckily, me crippled mum borrowed some snowshoes from the gent next door, so I used them to get here.

slocombe Miss Brahams you're lucky Captain Peacock isn't here yet or he'd make an adverse report about you. How ever did you manage to get here where you live?

(The elevator doors open. Grainger sprints towards his department. He dashes to the gents counter.)

Oh, I'm sorry that I am late ... oh, Stephen it not here yet.

(Puts his hat and coat away.)

Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas, if Mr. Rumbold phones for me, tell him that I am not free. I am not positive, but I have the impression that someone is spreading rumours about me and what I may do during my off hours.

(Points at Mrs. Slocombe).

Rumors you say? What sort of rumors are you talking about that you have the impression of rumors being spread about you of what is rumored of what you are doing during your off hours? And how come I've never heard of these rumors being spread before just now?

I heard one of these rumours. But it was twenty - five years ago, in Haberdashery, right, Mr Grainger?

My. You have been here quite a while, have you not Mr. Humphries? <laughs> <turns head and sees Ms. Brahms behind the counter> Blimey...<Nudging Mr. Humphries in the elbow> Shirley finally got in. I wonder if Mrs. Slocombe will report her to Capt. Peacock?
