"Six thousand if there was a cent," repeated Isadore Kantor; "more than Rimsky ever played to in his life!" "Oh, Izzy, you make me sick, always counting counting." "Your sister's right, Isadore. You got nothing to complain of if there was only six hundred in the house.
A yell from the basement called him back down to where Izzy was busily going through piles of crates and boxes stacked along one wall. He was pointing to a lead-foil-covered box. "Dope! And all that other stuff's ammunition!" He shivered, staring at the fortune in his hands. Then he grimaced and shoved the open can back in its case.
One year Miriam wants Arverne and Ray wants we should go to the mountains where the Schimm girls go. This year, since she got in with them Lillianthal girls, Miriam has to have Europe, and Ray wants to stay home so with snips like Louie Ruah she can run with. I tell you when you got daughters you don't know where " "Give 'em both a brain test, ma." "Stop teasing your sister, Izzy.
Gonna buy me a job as a cop. That's why I needed the scratch. Okay, gov'nor?" Gordon hauled back his hand to knock the other from his feet, and then dropped it. A grin writhed onto his face, and broke into sudden grudging laughter. "Okay, Izzy," he admitted. "For this stinking planet, I guess you're something of a saint. Come along, and we'll both apply for that job after I get my stuff."
In the half-light of the room, with the late sunshine pressing warm against the drawn green shades, the remote shouts of children coming to them through the quiet, and the whir of a lawn-mower off somewhere, they crouched, these two, as though they would shut their ears to the flapping of vultures' wings. "They can't do anything to you, Izzy." "What'll we do, Renie? What'll we do?"
Lissman, I got good reasons to have pleasure out of my children. I guess you heard, Mrs. Lissman, what a grand position my Izzy has got with his uncle, of the Isadore Flexner Banking-house. Lissman, for a boy like Izzy!" "I tell you, Mrs. Shongut, if you got rich relations it's a help." "How grand my brother has done for himself, Mrs. Lissman! Such a house he has built on Kingston Place!
Hendrix was faster than Gordon had thought. He had his gun almost up before Gordon could fire. A bluish hole appeared on the man's forehead; he dropped slowly. The others made no trouble as Izzy bound them with baling wire. "And I hope nobody finds them," he commented. "All right, Randy, I guess we're a bunch of refugees heading for the outside, and bloody lucky at that.
"And you still have a capital of three hundred for future operations, eh?" "I'm through, sir," says Vincent. "I I don't like lying to mother. Besides after next Monday I don't think Izzy will bother me for any more tips. I I suppose I'm fired, sir?" "Eh?" says Old Hickory, scowlin' at him fierce. "Fired? No. Boys who have a dislike for lying to mother are too scarce.
The dome had exploded outwards, with only bits of it falling back; and the buildings had come through the outward explosion of the pressure with little damage. Gordon grinned wryly. Schulberg's volunteers were official, now. Izzy was acting as chief of police, Schulberg was head of the reconstruction corps, and Mother Corey was temporary Mayor of all Marsport.
"'Sh-h-h-h, I 'ain't promised yet. I tell you if anybody would tell me two days ago to Europe I got to go this month, right away I wouldn't have believed 'em!" "Ach, Simon, you think yet it's a pleasure for me? You think for me it's a pleasure to shut up my flat and leave it for two months?
