And with a gesture, as of flinging the whole thing far from him, he turned his back and walked away. "You mean you don't think I can get hardly anything for 'em?" An extraordinarily meek, fearful Susan asked the question. Only a shrug of the back-turned shoulders answered her. "But, Mr. Burton, we we've got to have the money for that operator; an', anyhow, I I mean to try."

And there was a big lacquer cabinet, a Chinese thing, I suppose, of black and gold against the red-toned wall.
