For two days, Bartleby does an excellent job and earns the owner's trust via his diligence. Instead, he stares at a blank wall through glass.

A successful lawyer on Wall Street hires Bartleby, a scrivener, to relieve the load of work experienced by his law firm. For two days, Bartleby executes his job with skill and gains the owner's confidence for his diligence. He instead spends long periods of time staring out one of the office's windows at a brick wall. He is saddened by thought of the life the young man. Bartleby is adamant about not leaving. The new tenants are enraged by the lawyer's second ploy, which involves going to another office and leaving Bartleby behind. They accuse the lawyer of being responsible for Bartleby's oddities.
