"That's why, when you say you can't line up alongside of me, it's no excuse." "I I mean it." "Just because I got a head for designing doesn't make me a nine days' wonder. Why don't you you come right out and say what you mean, Phonzie?" "Why, I I don't even know how to talk to a woman like you, madam. La-La girls have always been my pace." "I know, Phonzie, and I I ain't blaming you.
Alphonse Rook "Phonzie" spent the greater part of his time at the office of the Manhattan Music Publishing Company, under which auspices the Broadway Melody Shop operated. He was replaced by a salesgirl of such superlative dress and manner that her long jet earrings were like exclamations at the audacity of her personality.
A slick-looking fellow like you can skylark around as he pleases and don't need to have time for the overworked, tired-out ones like me." "Madam, I never dreamed " "Dreamed! Phonzie, I I've got no shame if I tell you, but, God! how many nights I I've lain right here on this couch dreaming of of " "Well?" "Of you and me, Phonzie, hitting it off together." "Madam!"
The noon appointments came so thick I had to send Eddie out to bring me a bite." "What kind of a day?" "Everything smooth but the designing-room. Gert done her best, but they don't take hold without you, hon. They can't even get in their heads that gold charmeuse idea Gert and I swiped at the Ritz last night." "Did you tell them I'll be back on the job next week, Phonzie?" "Nothing doing.
She sat beside her cold meal, tears scratching her eyes like blown grit. "It's like I told you this morning, Phonzie; when you get tired, all you got to do is remember I got the new trunk standing right behind the cretonne curtains, and I can pack my duds any day in the week and find a welcome over at at Ida May's." "Mil, ain't you ashamed!"
"You ought to see the way we handled them when I was on the floor for Roth. Say, we wouldn't touch a peignoir in that establishment for under two hundred and fifty, and we had 'em coming in there like sheep. The Riverside Drive trade is nothing, madam, compared to what we could do down there with the Avenue business." "You sure know how to handle the lorgnette bunch, Phonzie."
"You you just go on, Phonzie. I I guess I'm an old fool, anyways. It's like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip for me to try and squeeze anything but work out of my life. I I guess I'm just nothing but an old fool." "But, madam, how can a fellow like me squeeze anything out of life for you? Look at me! Why, I ain't worth your house room.
"'Sh-h-h. If she's awake, she can hear every word in the front room." From her wakeful couch Madam Moores raised herself on her elbow, cupping her ear in her palm, and straining her glance down the long hallway. The tears had dried on her cheeks. "Here, Gert, you dump in these things and let me lift the kid." "No, no; let me! Go 'way, Phonzie. You'll wake him!
Oh, it's all right!" "Better go over to the office and see Phonzie about it. All I know is they sent over a pair of lungs that can stop traffic when they let out. Forty copies of 'Cinderella Ella' just like hot cakes the first time she telephones it out to 'em! Hauls in a netful every time she opens her mouth, and, some mouth!
At a turn in the dark street the lights of the Bridge flashed suddenly upon them, swung in high festoons across an infinitude of night. Above, a few majestic stars, new coined, gleamed in a clear sky. "What do you bet that with me at the wheel we can clear the Bridge in thirty minutes, Phonzie?" "Sure we can; but here, let me shove." She elbowed him aside, the banter gone suddenly from her voice.
