The best spots were already engaged, but we found one that suited our purpose better than the water edge would have done. It was a secluded nook where I could give the rein to my eloquence I told her of my talk with the Chaikins, omitting names, but inventing details and bits of "local color" calculated to appeal to my listener's imagination and business sense.
I had come away from the Chaikins' under the impression that if I could raise two or three thousand dollars I might be able, by means of perseverance and diplomacy, to achieve my purpose. But I might as well have set myself to raise two or three millions I thought of Meyer Nodelman, of Mr. Even and his wealthy son-in-law, of Maximum Max.
I left him with my heart divided between unutterable triumph and black despair. Five hundred cloaks! How would I raise the money for so much raw material? It almost looked like another practical joke By this time I was more than sure that the Chaikins had a considerable little pile, but to turn to them for funds was impossible. It would have let my cat out of the bag.

Their house, too, will be like a home to me. Oh, it is so sweet to have friends, real friends." It was close upon 10 o'clock when I reached the Chaikins' flat in Harlem.
"So I do have a 'credit face'!" I exclaimed to myself, gleefully When I found myself in the street again I looked at my reflection in store windows, scanning my "credit face." The Chaikins took it for granted that I had paid for the goods on the spot Things brightened up at our "factory."
The figure on it literally staggered me. It seemed to be part of a fairy tale I rushed over to Nodelman's office, but found him gone for the day. The next thing on my program was to carry the glad news to the Chaikins and to discuss plans for the immediate future with my partner. But Chaikin never came home before 7.
