Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me what these expressions mean ?
1) As an apprentice, queuing in the spotless corridor on Thursdays outside the wages window, peering in at the comparative purity of desks and paper and slick, dandified staff, you got a queer, dizzy sensation. My brother was a clerk himself, at the Council House, but I never connected him with this Thursday vision.
2) Another clerical job, at a builder’smerchants, was redeemed to some extent by the fact that you were actually in the warehouse, among storemen, sales reps, and all the tangible, fascinating paraphernalia of the trade...
3) an established clerk
Many thanks,
Hela
