"I knew I was right," growled Harris. "Can't fool me with that it felt like it and looked like it, and that man Trego fits into the game to a T. I thought he was a mighty shady customer from the first look I got at him, when he come alongside and bossed things. When he got that knife throwed in him I thought I'd come down here and have a look around on my own hook, and thar ye be, cap'n."
He said he would buy up any of my goods that the rest of the world rejected. But now, do go and buy something of Maggie." "No, no; see, she has got a customer; there is old Wakem himself just coming up."
"Do me the favour, Mawruss," Abe begged; "tell me about it afterward. All I am eating for my breakfast is one egg, so sure as you're standing there." "All right, Abe; I wouldn't keep you no longer," Morris said. "If you could got it in your heart to eat, when one of your best customers is busting up on you, go ahead." "Our best customer?" Abe cried "Mandelberger Brothers & Company?"
"I'll give you enough to make out ten thousand to honor old Joe's draft," ruminated Mitchell, twirling the safe-knobs deftly. "You take it round and deposit it. On your way back jack Stevens up about those plows. Tell him if he don't get 'em round on time he loses one big customer and that's me."

Expensive, my time is, eh?" with a woful shake of the head. "But you're ahead of the game, aren't you?" asked the customer, interestedly. "Well, I guess yes. Just about twelve thousand."
