Passage-
I should have stated before that ground glass folding- doors divided my premises into two parts, one of which was occupied by my scriveners, the other by myself. According to my humor i threw open these doors,or closed them. I resolved to assign Bartleby a corner by the folding doors, but on my side of them, so as to have this quiet man within easy call, incase any trifling thing was to be done. I placed his desk close up to a small side-window in that part of the room, a window which orginally had afforded a lateral view of certain grimy back-yards and bricks, but which, owing to subsequent erections, commanded at present no view at all, though it gave some light. Within three feet of the panes was a wall, and the light came down from far above, between two lofty buildings, as from a very small opening in a dome. Still further to a satisficatory arrangement , I procured a high green folding screen,which might entirely isolate Bartleby from my sight, though not remove him from my voice. And thus,in a manner, privacy and society were conjoined.
