"I must got to laugh, Mawruss," Abe protested, "when I seen it Sam Feder, of the Kosciusko Bank, this morning, and he tells it me you got a permanent mortgage from the I. O. M. A. He says Milton M. Sugarman told him you got it ahead of Rashkin, because you got influence as a lodge brother of Sugarman." "Sure, I did," Morris admitted.
"All right," Abe replied. "Did you say Swiss cheese or store cheese?" she inquired mildly. "Tongue!" Abe and B. Rashkin roared with one voice. "Well, don't get mad about it," the waitress cried, as she whisked away toward the coffee urns. "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Potash," B. Rashkin continued.
"Wouldn't you come inside and take maybe a cup of coffee, Mr. Potash?" Rashkin suggested. "I shouldn't mind if I will," Abe said; and they entered the bakery together. "Would you want all cash above the mortgage, Mr. Rashkin?" "Just now, Mr. Potash," Rashkin replied, "I want a little something to eat. Give me a piece of stollen and a cup of coffee." "Milk separate?" the waitress asked.
B. Rashkin had told Ferdy that if the customer would agree to pay eight thousand five hundred dollars in cash and to reduce the second mortgage proportionately, the deal would be closed; and Ferdy had promised to let him know during the afternoon. "Lookyhere, Rashkin," Abe said at length, "what's the use beating bushes around?
"Sure, I know," said Rashkin; "but this is an opportunity which it wouldn't occur again oncet in twenty years." "Don't limit yourself, Rashkin," Abe retorted. "Make it fifty years. It's all the same to me, because I wouldn't touch it, Rashkin." "But, Mr. Potash," Rashkin broke in, "if your partner, Mr. Perlmutter, would be agreeable, wouldn' you consider it?"
Immediately they commenced to bargain vigorously, and at intervals of five minutes each modified his price for the option, until half an hour had expired, when they met at four hundred dollars. "All right," B. Rashkin cried, "let us go and see Milton M. Sugarman and draw up the option." "I am agreeable," Abe said; "any lawyer could draw it up, so far as I am concerned."
"I know it did, Mawruss," Abe said, "and Feder says that Sugarman told him he charges you five hundred dollars, and so he don't want to be a hog, Mawruss, and, therefore, he closes with Rashkin for a hundred and fifty." Morris' jaw dropped and he stared at Abe. "Furthermore, Mawruss," Abe went on, "Rashkin comes in to see Feder the other day and tells Feder he would be glad to make a quick turn.
Moreover, he and Rashkin engaged themselves to erect two houses, one on each lot, from the plans and specifications that Pinsky held under his arm.
"I hear it from Sol Klinger that before Rashkin busted up in the waist business he used to make up a garment called the Royal Piccadilly." "Is that so?" Morris commented. "I never heard he busted up in the waist business, Abe. Why couldn't he make a go of it, Abe?" "Well, Mawruss, it was the same trouble with him like with some other people, I know," Abe replied significantly.
"Him, I ain't surprised about," Ferdy Rothschild replied, "but when a feller should do his own wife's brother out of a commission of four hundred and sixty-five dollars, Rashkin, what a heart he must have it. Like a piece of steel." "Don't talk that way, Ferdy," Morris commented, without emotion. "You make me feel bad.
