the person by her side in the omnibus opens her

If your Watch needs Repairing,
Don't get mad and go to swearing;
Just take it into HALES' shop,
He will fix II so it will not stop.
He warrants his work all for year,
When it is used with proper care.
He will do it as low as it can be done,
And do it so well it's sure to run.
