I I just ain't your kind, Mrs. Loeb. Yours and Etta's. I I can't be saving and economical when I see there's plenty to spend. I I was raised with my brother down in Shefsky's theater, where nobody cares about monogramed guest towels and about getting up before noon if they don't want to. The evenings here kill me! Kill me!

Him and a feller by the name Feinson and that lowlife Rabiner plays there auction pinochle together." "But ain't he got no office, Mawruss?" Abe asked. "Sure, he's got an office," Morris replied. "He's got it desk-room with a couple of real estaters on Liberty Street, Abe.

Ikey dabbled discreetly in water, donned coat, hat and collar with its frazzled tie and chalcedony pin, and set forth in pursuit of his ideals. For each of us, when our day's work is done, must seek our ideal, whether it be love or pinochle or lobster a la Newburg, or the sweet silence of the musty bookshelves.
