"But, somebody's got to have nerve in a business, Mawruss, and if I waited for you to make suggestions we would never get nowhere." Morris searched his mind for an appropriate rejoinder, and had just formulated a particularly bitter jibe when the store door opened to admit two shabbily-dressed females. "Here, you," Abe called, "operators goes around the alley."
I've got a taxicab downstairs and if any of you gentlemen is a friend of the prisoner youse can come along to the marshal's office." Morris darted into the office and reappeared with his hat and coat. "Abe," he said, "you stay here in the store. I would go down with him." Abe frowned. "One moment, Mawruss," he cried. "It don't go so quick as all that.
Yesterday afternoon she went to a bridge-whist party by Mrs. Koblin's and she won a sterling solid-silver fern dish. And mind you, Mawruss, she only just found out how to play the game." "Who learned her?" Morris asked. "Mrs. Klinger and Mrs. Elenbogen," Abe replied. "That's two fine women, Mawruss particularly Mrs. Elenbogen."
"Sam Green is an old customer from ours; and if Henry Feigenbaum gives for a couple of hundred dollars an order to Max Kirschner he only does it because he's got pity on the old man. And, anyhow, Mawruss, even if Sam Green is a little slow, y'understand, sooner or later we get our money ain't it?
There ain't no harm in that, Abe, so long as he keeps inside his drawing account, but so soon as one partner starts to take more as the other money out of the business, Abe, then there is right away trouble. But certainly, Abe, Mawruss wouldn't do nothing like that."
"Plenty crooks looked over our line already, Abe," Morris commented, "and so far as I'm concerned, they could look over it all they want to, Abe, so long as they shouldn't buy nothing from us." "What d'ye mean? Crooks?" Abe cried. "The way Kleebaum talks he would give us an order for a thousand dollars goods, maybe, Mawruss. He ain't no crook." "Ain't he?" Morris replied.
He always kicks that the goods ain't made up right, or we ain't sent him enough fancies, or something like that. Five or six letters he writes us, Mawruss, when he gets the goods; but when he got to pay for 'em, Mawruss, that's something else again. You might think postage stamps was solitaire diamonds, and that he dassen't use 'em!" "Quit your kicking," Perlmutter broke in.
"I seen fellers with worser judgment as you, Abe," Morris said. Abe could not forbear a stare of astonishment at this grudging admission. "At last you got to admit it, Mawruss," he cried; "but anyhow, Mawruss, go ahead and finish up this here permanent-mortgage-loan business, and then, Mawruss, I will do all I can to help you out." Morris rose to his feet.
"Just to show you I ain't willing to run a chance I will go right down to J. Blaustein and take out a ten-thousand-dollar policy, Mawruss." Morris colored slightly. "Why should we give it Blaustein all our business, Abe?" he said. "That feller must got it a thousand customers to Rudy Feinholz's one." "Whose one?" Abe asked. "Rudy Feinholz's," said Morris.
Former times when a lodge brother died, I used to think the ride out to Cypress Hills was a pleasure already, Mawruss, but when I think how rotten the roads was and what poor accommodations them carriages was compared to this, Mawruss, I'm surprised that I could have enjoyed myself at all. This here oitermobile riding is something what you would call really comfortable, Mawruss."
