First lines

The Metropolitan Dry Goods and Variety Store at Trumet Centre was open for business. Sam Bartlett, the boy whose duty it was to take down the shutters, sweep out, dust, and wait upon early-bird customers, had performed the first three of these tasks and gone home for breakfast. The reason he had not performed the fourth -- the waiting upon customers -- was simple enough; there had been no customers to wait upon. The Metropolitan Dry Goods and Variety Store was open and ready for business -- but, unfortunately, there was no business.
