Kleebaum frowned and contorted one side of his face with electrical rapidity. "Say, my friend," the chauffeur replied entirely unmoved, "them gestures don't go down with me. Is this the guy you was telling the boss you would jolly into buying a car, because " Kleebaum turned to Abe and elaborately assumed an expression of amiable deprecation. "That's a salesman for you," he exclaimed.
What I want to talk to you about now is this here J. Edward Kleebaum. He gives us an order for twenty-one hundred dollars, Mawruss." "Good!" Morris exclaimed. "Good?" Abe repeated with a rising inflection. "Say, Mawruss, what's the matter with you to-day, anyway?" "Nothing's the matter with me, Abe. What d'ye mean?"
What d'ye say to a little spin uptown in this here Pfingst car which I got it waiting for me downstairs." Abe waved his hand with the palm out. "You could go as far as you like, Mr. Kleebaum," he replied, "but when it comes to oitermobiles, Mr. Kleebaum, you got to excuse me. I ain't never rode in one of them things yet, and I guess you couldn't learn it an old dawg he should study new tricks.
"I mean that on Saturday you wouldn't sell Kleebaum not a dollar's worth of goods, Mawruss, and even myself I was only willing we should go a thousand dollars on the feller, and now to-day when I tell it you he gives us an order for twenty-one hundred dollars, Mawruss, you say, 'good'." "Sure, I say, 'good'," Morris replied. "Why not?
Morris shook his head doubtfully, while Abe went into the firm's private office. He returned five minutes afterward flourishing the guarantee. I hereby waive notice of Kleebaum's default and Potash & Perlmutter shall not be required to exhaust their remedy against the said Kleebaum before recourse is had to me.
"Well, don't get mad about it, Potash," Kleebaum said. "Me, I don't get mad so easy," Abe declared. "Wouldn't you come downstairs to Hammersmith's and take a cup coffee or something?" Together they descended to the sidewalk where they were saluted by a tremendous chugging from the Pfingst roadster.
Certainly, I believe a feller should buy the machines what suits his purpose, but with Mawruss and me, when we was running our own shop we bought nothing but standard makes like Keeler and Silcox and them other machines." At this juncture Kleebaum broke into a hearty laugh. "This machine is all right for what I would want it," he said. "In fact, I got it right down in front of the door now.
Abe surveyed Kleebaum with a puzzled stare. "Say, lookyhere, Kleebaum," he said, "if you thought you would get me to buy an oitermobile by giving me this here order, Kleebaum, I'm satisfied you should cancel it. Because again I got to tell it you, Kleebaum, I ain't in the market for oitermobiles just yet awhile." Kleebaum clapped Abe on the shoulder.
If a petition in bankruptcy be filed by or against said Kleebaum in consideration aforesaid I promise to pay to Potash & Perlmutter on demand the said sum of twenty-one hundred dollars. "If he signs that, Mawruss," Abe said, "you are safe in giving him the note." Morris put on his hat and lit a cigar.
"That's a hard blow to Kleebaum and old man Pfingst, Abe," he said. "I bet yer," Abe replied, "but it ain't near the hard blow it's going to be to a couple of concerns what you and me know, Mawruss. Klinger told me only yesterday that Kleebaum would get twenty thousand with that girl, Mawruss, and I guess he needed it, Mawruss.
