Do you suppose there is a woman on earth who wouldn't forgive a man who gave up thirteen thousand dollars just to help her out of a difficulty? Gave it up, as you did, without a whimper or even a whisper? And whose one worry has been that she might find out the truth about his weird generosity? Oh, Loosh, Loosh, you ARE crazy." Galusha made no attempt to deny the charge of insanity.
His relative glanced about at the desks where rows of overjoyed clerks were trying to suppress delighted grins and pretend not to have heard. "You're welcome, Loosh," he said, as they parted at the door, "but don't you ever dare call me 'Cousin Gussie' again in public as long as you live."
You make a noise like a hearse, Loosh." "Of course you don't know. I don't know. I don't suppose anybody knows, exactly. But isn't it great fun to study 'em up, and see the different kinds, and think about the old chaps who carved 'em, and wonder about 'em and " "No, I'll be banged if it is! It's crazy nonsense. You've got pigeons in your loft, Loosh. Come on out and give the birds an airing."
"Cousin Gussie," junior member of the firm, then in his early thirties, thrust his hands into the pockets of his smart tweed trousers, tilted from heels to toes of his stylish and very shiny shoes and whistled beneath his trim mustache. He had met Galusha often before, but that fact did not make him more optimistic, rather the contrary. "So you want to be a banker, do you, Loosh?" he asked.
"Oh, for the love of Mike, Loosh!" exclaimed the classmate, "cut it out. What do you waste your time doing crazy stunts like that for?" "But it's fun. Say, if they had all cut their initials around on the door frames and the ah mop boards it would be great stuff to puzzle 'em out and make a list of 'em, wouldn't it? I wish they had." "Well, I don't.
I I think I have lied to every one.... I believe that is really all. Good-night." "One more thing, Loosh. What did you do with the certificates, Hallett's and Miss Phipps'? You got them, I suppose." "Eh? Yes, oh, yes, I got them. I don't know where they are." "WHAT? Don't know where they ARE?" "No. I took them to your office, Cousin Gussie. I enclosed them in a large envelope and took them there.
I've only been trying to keep you from being TOO kind to people who work you for a good thing, that's all. Look here, Loosh: I know what you've done with that thirteen thousand dollars." Galusha shot one more pitiful glance in the direction of the kitchen. "Ah ah do you?" he stammered. "Yes. You've given it away, haven't you?" "Well well, you see " "You have? I knew it!
