Isidore Belchatosky's face was so wreathed in smiles and foreign matter as to be beyond identification; Nathan Spiderwitz had placed all his trust in a solitary suspender and two unstable buttons; Eva Kidansky had entirely freed herself from restraining hooks and eyes; Isidore Applebaum had discarded shoe-laces; and Abie Ashnewsky had bartered his only necktie for a yard of "shoe-string" licorice.
"Yes, and he'll bring one back," I puts in, "or I don't know Abie Bloom. About five and costs will be the bill. But it ought to be worth it." "It would, every cent," says she, "if we had the five." "In that case," says I, "you'd better do a sudden duck." "But where to!" says she, glancin' desperate down the stairs.
"Excuse me," said Abe; "I ain't been introduced to this young lady yet." "Why, I thought you knew her," Morris said. "This is Miss Smith, the trained nurse which was so good to my Minnie when my Abie was born." "Is that so?" Abe cried.

"Two solid customers that buy every dollar from you." "And," continued Johnny, "Leah and Abie are as happy as two birds in a nest.
