As Desire crossed to Borden Street, and went on up the hill, there came suddenly to her mind recollection of the Sunday noon, years since, when she had walked over that same sidewalk with Kenneth Kincaid; when he had urged her to take up Mission work, and she had answered him with her girlish bluffness, that "she thought he did not approve of brokering business; it was all there, why should they not take it for themselves?
"That is the least, Noblestone," he rejoined. "First and last I bet you I am out five thousand dollars on Vesell. That feller got an idee that there ain't nothing to the cloak and suit business but auction pinochle and taking out-of-town customers to the theayter. Hard work is something which he don't know nothing about at all. He should of been in the brokering business."
For you cannot lay down the tailoring, or the shoemaking, or the brokering, or the green-grocering, or the pictorial-periodicalling, or the second-hand wardrobe, or the small fancy businesses, you cannot lay down those lines of life at your will and pleasure by the half-day or evening, and take up Waitering.

Griping as Hell and as insatiable worse than a Brokering Jew, not all the Twelve Tribes harbour such a damn'd Extortioner. Sir Cau. Gay. One whom thou hast undone Sir Cau. Gay. Racking me up to a starving Want and Misery, Then took advantages to ruin me. Sir Cau. Gay. Do not you know one Wasteall, Sir? Sir Cau.
"Two months more will decide whether he is to be a broker or a poet. It will mean death to Ronald to be sent into the City." "You are wrong there. If he is a poet, no amount of brokering will alter the fact, any more than it will change the colour of his eyes or hair. It is bound to come out sooner or later.
I wonder if he thought that we, with our brokering and our writing and our lawyering, dealt much with ideas! I remember one night when we sat up until three discussing the philosophy of prohibition over three bottles of port. I wonder how many other men have done the same thing! But five years ago no, it was six Hardy really told us a real story about himself.
"The brokering business ain't such a cinch neither," Noblestone retorted with some show of indignation. "A feller what's in the brokering business has got his troubles, too, Potash.
