For the articles in the window were identical, in many cases, with those they had bought, but the prices were much less. "I thought there was something fishy about it," commented Thad. "Never again do I buy a pig in a poke!" "I'll poke Ikey when I catch him," said Bob. "Here he comes now," spoke Ted, in a low voice.
"It isn't a tobacco jar, I tell you!" cried Ikey. "It's like the old Egyptian tear vawses, only different. Seven dollars why it's worth fifteen if it's worth a cent. Ain't it, Hashmi?" "Of a surely, yes," said the Jap, with an inscrutable smile. "But he'll let you have it for just a little more than the wholesale price in Japan, mind you in Japan!" cried Ikey. "Seven dollars. Think of it!"
We had a quarrel our first one and he went out saying he never wanted to see me again. I had a chance to make up with him later, but I was too proud. So was he, I guess. Anyhow, when I put my pride in my pocket and went after him, a little later, it was too late." "Too late how?" asked Andy, for Ikey had come to a stop and there was a break in his voice.
But the delight with which Ikey was enjoying his bath in the autumn leaves was not lost upon his parents. Slowly and clumsily they dropped to the ground. As though they expected to be recalled, each turned to look at the group of people who had now run to peer through the wire meshes of the fence.
The two younger chums, Michael Donahue and Ikey Rosenmeyer, were not, it must be confessed, so well employed. During this first day aboard the Kennebunk there was bred between these youths a scheme which certainly would not have met with the approval of the executive officer.
MacMasters must have been relieved of the command of her before this, don't you think?" "Don't know," Whistler rejoined, breaking off in his whistling briefly. "But where is he?" queried the anxious Frenchy. "Don't worry," Whistler said. "He'll be here." "Oi, oi! If he don't come," said Ikey, "we're marooned, eh?" "That'll be fierce!" growled Frenchy Donahue.
Abe, the waiter, was just about swamped, and Ikey and Frenchy volunteered to help him serve the vociferous crew. Yancey's other customers were very much out of it for the time being. They were a noisy crowd, but perfectly good-natured; and with the freehandedness characteristic of the sailor ashore, bought the best Yancey could provide. The restaurant proprietor had no complaint to make.
At 5.15 there was a mob in front of our one entrance and it looked like a big night. We had two boxes each accommodating four people, and these we immediately sold out. Then a brilliant idea came to Ikey Cohenstein. Why not use the rafters overhead, call them boxes, and charge two francs for a seat on them?
"I'll leave it to David, who knows Isaac Perry in and out, and ask if he thinks his uncle Frank will believe a word the nigger tells him, after all I've laid up before him. Isaac Perry can tell the truth from now to doomsday and Jenison won't believe him. I've fixed Isaac proper. What Jenison wants now is to get hold of Ikey and beat his brains out.
"Say!" put in Ikey Rosenmeyer hotly, "you fellows won't get no advance in rating at all, and you may get blown up any time. We've got something to work for, we have!" "We've got money to work for," declared one of the munition workers. "Oi, oi!" sneered Ikey. "What's money yet?" A sneer which vastly amused his chums, for Ikey's inborn love for the root of all evil was well known.
