"I ain't giving it to her for nothing at all. I'm taking it out of her housekeeping money, Abe five dollars a month!" "There's no use talking, Abe," Morris Perlmutter declared to his partner, Abe Potash, as they sat in the sample-room of their spacious cloak-and-suit establishment. "We got a system of bookkeeping that would disgrace a peanut-stand.
In East Aurora there used to be a good friend of mine who had a peanut-stand at the station. The business flourished and some one advised my friend that he should put in popcorn as a sideline. He did so, and got nervous prostration. You see, he was a peanut man, and when he got outside of his specialty he was lost. One realizes the herculean task of dying poor which confronts Mr.
The sight of his dignified desolation was insupportable, and we tried what a copper of the big-dog value would do to comfort him. He took it without looking up and ran away to the peanut-stand which is always steaming at the first corner all over Christendom. Late in the evening in fact, after the night had fairly fallen we saw him making his way into a house fronting on the plaza.
And keep books on it as if it had been the Federal Reserve Bank?" "It strikes me," said the Judge, "that both of us would rather have you run a peanut-stand than I'm using your own analogy than spend your whole life eating peanuts. Why, Henry, your uncle wanted you to be shocked wanted you to be mad enough to stand up on your hind legs and fight." Henry looked at his wife.
"O, sister Amy!" cried both the little ones, dropping the perambulators, and rushing up to us as soon as their eyes fell upon us, "Mammy's bunion hurts so, she can't take us to walk, and it's such a lovely day, and we want to go Jim's peanut-stand."
I asked of the beaming pair, who were now hanging, the one on Bessie's arm, the other on mine. "Bessie and I do not much care which way we go." "Oh," said Daisy, ecstatically, "if you would only take us to Jim's peanut-stand! Mother said we might go, and then mammy couldn't take us." "It's not fash'nable, but it's very respectable, Amy," said Allie, impressively.
Let's get out, honey, while the goin's good. Let's take them seventy-five bucks and buy us a peanut-stand or a line of goods. Let's be regular folks, darlin'! I'm willin' to begin low down. Don't stake them last seventy-five, Blutch. Break while we're broke. It ain't human nature to break while your luck's with you." He was for folding her in his arms, but she still withheld him.
He said that he would not report the conflagration of a peanut-stand for a paper conducted on the principles I had developed to him. Now, that is no way to talk. It's absurd." "Perfectly." Bartley laughed his rich, caressing laugh, in which there was the insinuation of all worldly-wise contempt for Clayton and all worldly-wise sympathy with Witherby.
Jim's makin' an uncommon good thing out of this peanut-stand with you and Matty to run it for him, an' I hear you're doin' first-rate. But don't I know something about Jim!" "So do I, lots," answered Tony, as well as he could speak. "You don't know what I know; and Jim wouldn't want you to," said the bad boy.
