The railroad trip finished him, I bet yer." "Did he die?" Abe asked. "Well, no, he didn't die exactly," Klinger replied; "but on the train the rheumatism went to his head, and that poor, sick young feller took a whole theayter troupe into the café car and blows 'em to tchampanyer wine yet. Two hundred dollars it costed him." "That's all right, Sol," Abe replied.
So I expect you this evening." He turned to his partner after the girls had gone. "Mawruss," he said, "put them goods for M. Garfunkel back in stock. I rung up Klinger & Klein and they sold him four thousand. I also rung up the Perfection Cloak and Suit Company also four thousand; Margolius & Fried two thousand; Levy, Martin & Co. three thousand, and so on.
Perlmutter, Leon Sammet this morning buys from me for thirty dollars silver to be sent to the same place on One Hundred and Eighteenth Street as that there perculater, and he didn't kick only a little that I am charging him fifty cents express." "What!" Morris exclaimed. "Is Klinger sending that perculater up to One Hundred and Eighteenth Street too?"
But me, I ain't ready to die just yet awhile, y'understand, even though business is rotten, so you could take that thing back to the cook and bring me a slice of roast beef; and if you think I got all day to sit here, Max, and fool away my time " "Right away, Mr. Klinger, right away," Max cried as he hurried off the offending dish, and once more Sol subsided into a melancholy silence.
"One thing I'm glad, Mawruss," Abe said as he put on his hat: "I'm glad, if we got to lose Moe Griesman's trade, Mawruss, that he is going to give it to a feller like Sol Klinger, which he is such a good friend to you, Mawruss, and got such a big heart." He jammed his hat on his ears and started out. "Where are you going, Abe?" Morris asked.
I am enjoying myself, Mawruss, on account Moe Griesman from Sarahcuse was just in here, which he tells me his nephew, Mozart Rabiner, goes to work for Klinger & Klein as a drummer and we should be so good and cancel the order which he gives us yesterday, as blood is redder as water; and what the devil could we do about it anyway?" Morris's jaw dropped and he sat down heavily in the nearest chair.
"Auction pinochle!" Abe interrupted, throwing up his hands. "Das fehlt nur noch!" "As I was saying, Mr. Potash," Prosnauer went on with a withering glance at Abe, "those samples are outside, and Pasinsky has asked me to ship them to Klinger & Klein, and " "Ship 'em!" Abe cried. "You shouldn't ship nothing. Them samples belongs to me." "How do I know that?" Prosnauer asked.
"Also, Sol Klinger was looking at it, and he told me Interstate Copper was up to three already." Abe sat down in a chair and passed his hand over his forehead. "That's the one time when you give it us good advice, Abe," said Morris. "Sol says we may make it three thousand dollars yet." Abe nodded. He licked his dry lips and essayed to speak, but the words of confession would not come.
"Well, if Sol Klinger could do it, why couldn't we?" Morris asked. "What are you talking about Sol Klinger?" Abe demanded. Thereupon Morris related to Abe the circumstances surrounding Sol Klinger's purchase of the coffee percolator, and when he concluded Abe nodded slowly. "So that highwayman is butting in too," he commented. "How much did you say he is paying for that samovar, Mawruss?"
"Maybe there is, Mawruss," Abe replied, "but I don't know any of them." "No?" Morris said. "Well, Sol Klinger, of Klinger & Klein, could tell you, I guess. I seen him in the subway this morning, and he was pretty near having a fit over the financial page of the Sun. I asked him if he seen a failure there, and he says no, but Steel has went up to seventy, maybe it was eighty.
