It took all her courage to attempt it, and you may be sure she held fast to Pirlaps. Pirlaps changed his trousers at the barber-shop, too, whenever it was necessary; but today there were so much to do and see that he did not sit on his step as much as usual, and so did not need as many. For they had a good deal of shopping to do, besides showing Sara the sights.
Morris made no answer. "Or if you had to lose 'em, Mawruss," Abe went on, "why didn't you done it the day we loaned Hymie the money? Then we could of stopped our check by the bank. Now we can do nothing." "I didn't lose the diamonds, Abe," Morris protested. "I left 'em in my vest in the barber-shop and somebody took it the vest." "Well, ain't you got no suspicions, Mawruss?" Abe asked.
It was certain that Paloma real estate would rise to three or four times its present value. "I know you'll excuse us," replied Tom, still speaking pleasantly, "if we don't go into precise details." "Then you are going to make a secret of your plans?" inquired another barber-shop idler. His tone expressed merely curiosity; Arizona men are proverbially as polite as they are frank.
He was a cleanly shaven young man of twenty-four or five, with a carefully tended brown mustache which drooped below the corners of his mouth. He began by saying to Bertha: "I wish I could get out of my business. Judas, but I get tired of it! When I left the farm I never s'posed I'd find myself nailed down to the floor of a barber-shop, but here I am and making good money.
He would gallop back to the office with notes on these ideas, pant at Una in a controlled voice, "Quick your book got a' idea," and dictate the outline of such schemes as the Tranquillity Lunch Room a place of silence and expensive food; the Grand Arcade a ten-block-long rival to Broadway, all under glass; the Barber-Shop Syndicate, with engagement cards sent out every third week to notify customers that the time for a hair-cut had come again.
"I know," said Josie, and advancing to the door drew out her keys. Her very boldness disarmed suspicion; the boy was not sufficiently interested to watch her, for a man came out of the barber-shop and seated himself in the boot-black's chair. This sort of lock didn't phase Josie at all. At the second trial she opened the door, walked in and closed the door behind her.
Every few steps are encountered great steel doors or gates which are always kept locked. We were bound for the barber-shop, but we encountered delays in the unlocking of doors for us. We were thus delayed in the first "hall" we entered. A "hall" is not a corridor.
This distinction is worth bearing in mind, for it leads to soberness and a seemly modesty in controversy. It is only in barber-shop politics and sophomore debating clubs that a decision of a question of policy takes its place among the eternal verities.
But as he crossed the pavement to the brilliant glass doors of the barber-shop, a second newsboy grasped the arm of the one who had thus cried his wares. "Say, Yallern," said this second, hoarse with awe, "'n't chew know who that IS?" "Who?" "It's SHERIDAN!" "Jeest!" cried the first, staring insanely.
There's some stuff in him if it only has a chance." "I've done a good piece of business, Berry," he said cheerfully as he passed through the barber-shop. "Suh, if you say so," said the barber, and they left the shop together. Promptly at nine o'clock Jethro Fawe knocked at Ingolby's door, and was admitted by the mulatto man-servant Jim Beadle, who was to Ingolby like his right hand.
