"He wanders free beside the sea Where 'er the coast is stony; He flaps his wings and madly sings The plaintive abalone. "Some stick to biz, some flirt with Liz Down on the sands of Coney; But we, by hell, stay in Carmel, And whang the abalone." He paused with his mouth open and stone upraised. There was a rattle of wheels and a voice calling from above where the sacks of mussels had been carried.
Somebody obligingly seconded, and Grim enthroned himself with dignity in the chair, and said cheerfully, "Carried nem. con. That's the way to commence biz. Now, you fellows, I thank you for this unexpected honour, which has quite taken me by surprise. I shall always " "Shut up, Grim," said Brown. "You know jolly well you asked Wilson to propose you."
Be not deceived, O too credulous Brokah! for this that our brother the prince doeth is not in the name of Allah, but of Biz, the only god known in the bazaars of the city." When the foolish Brokah heard these things he cried, "Justice, Aga of the Brokahs, justice and the fulfillment of my bond! Let the prince deliver unto me the stokh. Here are my fifty thousand sequins."
Him an' me took to the book-agentin' biz the same day, we did. I needed cash, like I always do, and he had literatoor in the family. So we went an' did it. We did it to Gallops Junction first, and after that Eliph' sowed literatoor pretty general all over Iowa, an' next I heard of him all over the United States.
Now when the Prince tore up the bond there was a great commotion, and some said, "Surely the Prince Bulleboye is drunken with wine;" and others, "He is possessed of an evil spirit;" and his friends expostulated with him, saying, "What thou hast done is not the custom of the bazaars, behold, it is not Biz!" But to all the prince answered gravely, "It is right; on my own head be it!"
I had hoped you might have peddled that opium through the islands, which is safer and more profitable. But with this three-month limit, you must make tracks for Honolulu straight, and communicate by steamer. I'll try to put up something for you there; I'll have a man spoken to who's posted on that line of biz.
"Then let's get down to biz." Danny paused and calculated. "Of course, sixty-five per cent of the gate receipts, same as with Carthey. But the split'll be different. Eighty will just about suit me." And to his manager, "That right?" The manager nodded. "Here, you, did you get that?" Kelly asked Rivera. Rivera shook his head. "Well, it is this way," Kelly exposited.
"What of it?" asked Ricks. "I seen a bloke onct what lit his cigar with a bill like the one you had!" "But the doctor said it was two pounds," insisted Sandy, incredulously. He did not realize the expense of a personally conducted tour of the Bowery. "Well, it's went," said Ricks, resignedly. "You can't count on settin' up biz with what's left."
His face wore a lofty look of command, and was stamped by an expression of the unmost resolution. He spoke easily and showed not the smallest haste. "Guess we ain't met before, boss not familiar-like, leastways. My name's Retief Peter Retief, an' I take it yours is Lablache. Now I've jest come right along to do biz with you how does that fit your bowels?"
