Elevator attendant

Edwin Wolfe wrote a wonderful small collection of stories about Mr. Gurdjieff.
Once in the US in the 1920's or 1930's, , Mr. Gurdjieff used an elevator in a hotel in Chicago or New York,
(This was in the days when the operator would stand inside with you and manually operate the lift.)
Mr. Wolfe stepped into it just after, Mr. Gurdjieff had stepped out;
he asked the yourng operator what he thought of the man who had
just been in there. He replied, "He knows something".
