Of course, I know you cannot sell fifteen t'ousant wort' of tiamonts in five minutes that is not reasonable pishness. But I could hear nothing at all now not a sound. And the boy the boy that came down to call me up he wasn't come back.
"It will be better to begin at the beginning. First, I should like to know your name, and a few such particulars as that." "Lewis Samuel, Hatton Garden 150, Hatton Garden tiamont merchant." "Yes. And what is your connection with Mr. Denson?" "Business just business," Samuel responded. He pronounced it "pishness," and it seemed his favourite word. "Like this; I will tell you.
So last week I pring a peautiful collection all cut but unset, and I wait out in that room while Denson shows them to his customer." "You mean you let them out of your sight?" "Yes that is not so uncommon; reg'lar pishness. You see I was out here this is the only way out. Denson was in the inner office with the stones and the American. Neither could get out without passing here.
I haf known him some time, and did at first small pishness. He bought a little tiamont and haf it set in pracelet, and he pay straightforward pishness. Then he bought some very good paste stones, all set in gold, and he pay quite straightforward pishness. At the same time he says, 'I am pishness man myself, Mr. Samuel, he says, 'and I like to make a little moneys as well as pay out sometimes.
He had been called suddenly away, he exclaimed, on the day he should have come, and hoped his missing the appointment had occasioned no inconvenience. As to the robbery of the cameo, of course he was very sorry, but "pishness was pishness," and he would be glad of a check for the sum agreed on.
And I had done pishness with him alretty." "Well?" "You see I wait downstairs with my case this case till Denson sends down. He doesn't want me to show fery natural, you see, in pishness. When I sell to make a profit, perhaps for somebody else, I don't want that somebody to know my customer, else he sells direct and I lose my profit fery natural. See?" "Of course, I understand.
I was putting the lot to him for fifteen t'ousant pounds, and it would have been a nice profit in that for me. And then Denson he chaffs me and he says, 'Ah! Samuel, he says, 'wasn't you afraid my customer and me would hook it out o' the window with all your stones? I don't like that sort o' joke in pishness, you see, but I say, 'All right I wasn't afraid o' that.
But of course I stay till I haf looked very carefully through all the tiamonts, in the different compartments of the case, in case one might haf dropped on the floor, or got changed, you know. That is pishness." "Just so. And they were all right?" "All right and same as the list I know well a tiamont that I haf seen once.
So I go away, and afterwards Denson tells me that the American liked much the stones but wouldn't quite come up to price. That, of course, is fery usual pishness. 'But he will rise, Samuel, Denson says. 'I know him quite well, and them tiamonts is as good as sold with a good profit for me; and a good one for you, too, I bet, he says.
Griffenberg turned from the man to whom he was talking and exclaimed, gleefully: "Here is Mr. Orme! You have herd the good news, I suppose, Mr. Orme? Splendid isn't it? Wonderful man, you father, truly wonderful! He can give us all points, can't he, baron?" The baron nodded and smiled. "Shir Stephen ish a goot man of pishness. You have a very glever fader, Mr. Orme!" he said, emphatically.
