In addressing her,\u003cbr\u003ethe men of the place always said \"Miss Warriner.\" In mentioning her,\u003cbr\u003ethey often said \"Mary Mite.\" The reason for this distinctive difference\u003cbr\u003ewas revealed by the sight of Miss Mary Warriner herself, as she sat on a\u003cbr\u003ehigh stool behind a rude desk, under a roughly-boarded shelter, and with\u003cbr\u003erapid fingers clicked the key of a telegraphic instrument. There was a\u003cbr\u003eperfect poise of quiet self-possession which would have been very\u003cbr\u003eimpressive dignity in an older and bigger person, and which, although\u003cbr\u003ehere limited by eighteen years and one hundred pounds, still made a\u003cbr\u003edemand for respectful treatment. Therefore the men, when in her\u003cbr\u003epresence, never felt like calling her anything else than \"Miss\u003cbr\u003eWarriner.\" If she had been less like a stately damsel in miniature, and\u003cbr\u003emore like such a child as she was in size only; if her employment had\u003cbr\u003ebeen something not so near to science as that of telegraphy, and not so\u003cbr\u003efar off from juvenile simplicity; if her brown hair had been loosely\u003cbr\u003ecurled, instead of closely coiled, and if her skirts had stopped at her\u003cbr\u003eankles instead of reaching to her feet, then she might have been\u003cbr\u003enicknamed \"Mary Mite\" within her own hearing, as she was beyond it, by\u003cbr\u003ethose who described her smallness in a sobriquet. There may have been a\u003cbr\u003evariance of opinion among those dwellers at Overlook who had made any\u003cbr\u003eestimate of her composure, but if there was one who believed that she\u003cbr\u003emerely assumed a reserve of manner because she was among two hundred\u003cbr\u003emen, he had not yet tried his chances of exceptional acquaintance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverlook was crude and temporary. The inhabitants were making a roadbed\u003cbr\u003efor a new railway at a spot where the job was extraordinary, requiring\u003cbr\u003ean uncommonly large proportion of brain to brawn in the work. Those who\u003cbr\u003ewere mental laborers in the remarkable feat of engineering, or were at\u003cbr\u003eleast bosses of the physical toil, were the ones who had errands at the\u003cbr\u003etelegraphic shed, and for whom Mary sent and received messages over the\u003cbr\u003ewires. The isolated colony of workers was one hundred miles deep in a\u003cbr\u003ewilderness of mountain and forest, but not as many seconds distant,\u003cbr\u003emeasured by the time necessary for electrical communication from the\u003cbr\u003econstruction company's headquarters in a great city.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079452147952,"sku":"2940013461147","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013461147_p0.jpg?v=1763581550","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013461147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
