Meltzer, she's right strict with me. She don't think I ought to keep company with any boys that don't come to see me first at my house." "I know it, Miss Sadie; that's the right way to do it, but I think I can get around her all right. Wasn't she down here in the basement the day I first heard about my promotion, and didn't she give me the glad hand and seem right friendly to me?
Max Meltzer leaned to the breath of her laughter as if he would fill his lungs with it. "Gee! but you're a cute little lady when you laugh like that." "Say, and ain't you the freshie! Just because you're going to be promoted to buyer for your department won't get your picture in the Sunday supplement.
All her senses swam, nor could she control the fluttering of her hands. "Oh Mr. Meltzer Max!" "What you and poor old Dee Dee need is some of this spring air. Gee! wouldn't I love to take you and her down the river to-night on one of them new Coney boats? Gee! would I? Just you and and her." "Max oh, Max dearie!"
You let a boy like Max Meltzer begin to keep steady with you and see what I say. You don't see no yellow streak in his face; he's as white as the goods he sells." "I know. I know. You think now because he's going to be made buyer for the white goods in September he's the whole show. Gee! nowadays that ain't so muchy much for a fellow to be."
"Say, Max, guess why I think you're like a rubber band." Classic Delphi was never more ready with ambiguous retort. Behind a stack of Joy-of-the-Loom bed-sheets, Max Meltzer groped for oracular divination, and his heart-beats fluttered in his voice. "Like a rubber band?" "Yeh." "Give up." "Aw, give a guess." "Well, I don't know, Miss Sadie, unless unless it's because I'm stuck on you."
Harald Meltzer was his name. And what was I doing up there? Measuring the hill; what for? What did I want to know the height for? Would I let him try? Later on I got hold of a line ten metres long, and measured the hill from foot to summit, with Harald to help. When we came down to the house, I asked to see the priest himself, and told him of my plan.
I wanna get you all by yourself and talk to you right in your little ear." "Shh-h-h! You mustn't talk like that." "That's the only way I have of trying to tell you how how I feel, Miss Sadie dearie." "Shh-h-h!" "When I call you that it means well, you know, dearie, you know. That's why I wanna take you to-night, dearie, all by your little self and " "No, no, Mr. Meltzer!
A mole stirred in its hole, and because spring will find a way, even down in the bargain basement of the Titanic Store, which is far below the level of the mole, Sadie Barnet, who had never seen a wood anemone and never sniffed of thaw or the wet wild smell of violets, felt the blood rise in her veins like sap, and across the aisle behind the white-goods counter Max Meltzer writhed in his woolens, and Sadie Barnet, presiding over a bin of specially priced mill-ends out mid-aisle between the white goods and the muslin underwear, leaned toward him, and her smile was as vivid as her lips.
"Gee! if I've made three sales this livelong day I don't know nothing about two of them." Max Meltzer met her dancing gaze, pinioning it with his own quiet eyes. "You're right to pick out the lucky fellows who can buy a good time. A little girl like you ought to have every enjoyment there is. If I could give it to you, do you think I would let the other fellows beat me to it?
Ain't that luck for you? Ain't that luck?" Her lips drew to a pout. "Lemme get it for you, Miss Sadie. I know a girl up in the ribbons " "No, no, Mr. Meltzer. I I got to charge it to Dee Dee, and, anyways, she gets mad like anything if I keep her waiting. I gotta go. 'Night, Mr. Meltzer! 'Night!"
