Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Mor loved Tim's shop. The wooden shutters which covered the shop windows at night made it quite dark from within. In the dim light of the lamp it looked like some treasure cove or alchemist 's den. Near the front there was a certain amount of order. Two large counters , each in the form of a glass-topped cabinet, faced each other near to the street door. But beyond these, the long shop became gradually chaotic. Loaded and untidy shelves from floor to ceiling, ran around the three walls, well barricaded by wooden display cases of various types, which stood often two or three feet deep in front of them. Between these , and in the rest of the available space, there were small tables, some of them also topped with glass and designed for displaying ornaments. The more precious jewelry, not hidden in the safes in the back room, was laid out in the glass-topped cabinets, and ranged in fair order.
Tim knew how to display his wares. He loved the stones, and displayed them according to his own system of valuation, which didn't always accord with their market prices. This week , one of the cabinets was given over to a display of opals. The other cabinet was full of Pearls -the real ones above, the cultured ones below. Mor had learned a certain amount about stones during his long friendship with Tim. This had been somewhat against his will, since for reasons which were not very clear to him, he rather disapproved of his friends profession.
The front of the shop was orderly. But the cheaper jewelry, which lay behind seemed to have got itself into an almost inextricable mess. Within the glass-topped tables , ropes of beads were tangled together into a solid mass of multicolored staff .Bold was the customer who who, pointing to some identifiable patch of color, said," I ' ll have that one '. Heaped together with these were clips and ear rings, brooches, bracelets, buckles, and a miscellany of all other small adornments. Tim Burke was not interested in the cheap stuff. He seemed to acquire his stock more or less by accident in the course of of his trade and dispose it of Without thought to such determined individuals as were prepared to struggle for what they wanted, often searching the shop from end to end to find the second earring or the other half of a buckle.
