"Not near so close as I am," Morris declared. "Well, you wouldn't anyhow kick on paying twenty-five cents express, Mr. Perlmutter," Flachs said, "but that feller actually wants me to deliver the package for nothing." "Why not?" Morris asked. "Don't everybody deliver packages free?" "Not a pawnbroker's-sales store," Flachs replied; "and anyhow, Mr.
After which he sat down again and let them flow more cheerfully; he had feathered his nest. Under the eyes of the other heirs he had snatched away the prize-house from Glanz, who now extremely regretted his exertions, since he had quite uselessly talked away half of his appetite. The emotion of Flachs was placed on record and the house in Dog Street was adjudged to him for good and all.
It is true I learnt later that poor Flachs had only come into the possession of these particular scores through unscrupulous dealers, who had traded on his weakness of intellect and palmed off this worthless music on him for large sums of money. At all events, they were scores, and that was quite enough for me.
Yet Flachs was able to tell me so much that was good about them that the respect which I felt for scores in general helped me to overcome my regret at not finding anything by my beloved masters.
The chin of Flachs, the Preacher-at-Early-Service, grew downward into a regular beard. The City Councillors could hear several softly ejaculated obituaries referring to the late Kabel under the name of scamp, fool, infidel, etc. If, however, all eyes remain dry, then the house likewise shall fall to the exclusive heir whom I am about to name."

"It don't make no difference, Mawruss," Abe said, as they sat in their showroom two months later. "The feller should got to pay us that two hundred and fifty dollars."
That's a perculater and it cost me, so sure as I am standing here, fifteen dollars, so I would let you have it for twelve-fifty on account its being shopworn." "Take ten dollars and make an end," rejoined Klinger, tendering a bill. "For ten dollars I could give you a fine piece cut glass, Mr. Klinger," Flachs insisted.
If a feller eats nuts twice a year, that's a big average. For my part it would oser break my heart if I would never eat another nut so long as I live. Now what you want to get is something cheap, ain't it?" Morris nodded. "Something about two dollars and fifty cents," he said. "That's what I thought," Flachs replied, "and for two dollars and fifty cents there ain't much choice.
"That's what I said," Flachs answered, and Morris replaced the cut-glass dish on the shelf. "Was the name Gladstein?" he inquired, and Flachs nodded. "Then in that case," Morris said savagely, "let me look at some sterling silver for about twenty-five dollars. If them suckers could stand it, so can I." More than two days had elapsed before Abe had exhausted the topic of Mrs.
