One-Eye had something of the sort in his own mind, for as he forsook the sink, Mrs. Kukor leading him, he shook a rumpled head at her. "Barber's bigger'n a barn!" he observed grimly. "Pos-i-tivvle!" Cis laughed, tossing her head. "I don't care how big he is," she declared, "or how mad! Algy can take care of himself."
Arrived, he saluted an astonished lady who did not at first recognize him; then he took off the new hat to her. But next, a very torrent of exclamations, all in Yiddish. After that, "Soch stylish!" she gasped rapturously. "Pos-i-tivvle!" Back in the flat again, Johnnie took off the uniform. That called for will power; but he dared not longer risk his prized possession.
"I'll bet there ain't any room that's nicer'n this in the whole Waldorf 'Storia!" he vowed to the little Jewish lady when she came rocking down to marvel over the transformation, hands uplifted, head wagging. "Don't you think it's fine, Mrs. Kukor? and don't it smell 'zac'ly like Mrs. Reisenberger?" "Pos-i-tivvle!" agreed Mrs. Kukor.
"How you gits a runnink jump mit yourselluf!" "Prob'ly that gentleman, he's been awful busy to-day," said Johnnie, "and so he'll be here first thing in the mornin'." "Pos-i-tivvle!" comforted Mrs. Kukor. But late that night, when the whole flat was abed, he admitted to himself not only his disappointment but his keen chagrin.
Now he realized how he had seared the sight of his enemies as he and the Great One arrived side by side in a taxicab! Yet no one must ever know that he had been in the dark! "Why, yes, Mrs. Kukor!" he cried. "My goodness! This is a reg'lar one!" "A cowpoy!" whispered Mrs. Kukor, as if in a daze. "Pos-i-tivvle! Mit furs on hiss pants, und everythink!"
She turned him round and round, marveling. "Pos-i-tivvle!" she declared. For a very long time Johnnie had been making a point of skimping the Saturday noon meal, this because Barber came home to eat it.
