Thus, when Morris entered the show-room the next morning it became his duty to break the news to his partner, and he approached Abe with a now-for-it air. "Well, Abe," he said, "you was wrong." "Sure, I was, Mawruss," Abe replied amiably. "With you I am always wrong. What's the matter now?" "You was wrong about that feller Rashkin," Morris explained.
"No?" Rashkin replied. "Well, the fact is, Mr. Potash, I ain't come to see you about Seattle. I come to see you about three lots up in Two Hundred and Sixty-fourth Street." The urbane smile faded at once from Abe's face and gave place to a dark scowl. "Oh!" he exclaimed, "a real estater. I ain't got no time to fool away with real estaters." "This ain't fooling away your time, Mr.
"Gussarow can stand it all right, Mawruss," Abe said reassuringly. "All he's got to do is to put it on the bill." "Well, if he put it on my bill, Abe," Morris replied, "he also put it on Rashkin's bill, because him and me bought the same building material all the way through, and I wouldn't pay no bills till I saw that Rashkin don't get charged less as I do."
His eyes sought instead the framed and glazed certificate of membership of Morris Perlmutter in Harmony Lodge 41, Independent Order Mattai Aaron. "Them very people hold the mortgage, Mr. Perlmutter," Rashkin said, "and with the influence what you got it in the order, why "
"That's only a fake," Abe said. "I seen in the paper yesterday that Rashkin incorporated the Royal Piccadilly Realty Company with his wife, Goldie Rashkin, as president; and I guess he done it because he got scared that Rothschild would get a judgment against him. And so he transfers the house to the corporation."
In this rare instance B. Rashkin was undergoing the novel experience of speaking the truth only slightly modified, for that very morning Ferdy Rothschild had produced a purchaser who was willing to pay forty-six thousand dollars for Rashkin's house.
On the wall hung various subjects in oil, including still life, landscapes, marine scenes and figures, all of which had been billed to Morris by a Fourteenth Street dealer as: 8/12 dozen assorted oil paintings @ $96 $64 8/12 dozen shadow boxes for paintings @ 12 8 $72 But it was not at the oil paintings that B. Rashkin gazed.
Also Rashkin sends Gussarow a check for his bill with five per cent. discount, and Ferdy Rothschild schmiers Rashkin a twenty-dollar note, and that's the way it goes." Morris sat down in the nearest chair and blinked helplessly at Abe. "What do you think for a couple of crooks like that, Abe?" he croaked. "What do I think, Mawruss?" Abe repeated.
Go and see Abe to-morrow, and put this proposition up to him like it was something you never told me nothing about, y'understand? Then if he makes the suggestion to me, Rashkin, I would say all right. Because if it should be me what would make the suggestion to him, y'understand, he wouldn't have nothing to do with it.
The next moment he banged the door behind him and five minutes later he was followed by B. Rashkin, who had filled that short space of time with an exhaustive and profane denunciation of Potash & Perlmutter, individually and as copartners.
