Last night when he came around to your place I told him the house ain't no bargain for any one what ain't a real-estater, y'understand, and he gets quite mad about it. Also, I watched him when Ike Magnus tells you he would give forty-eight five for it, and he turned pale. If he " At this juncture the doorbell rang and Morris entered. "No, siree, sir," Harris Rabin bawled.
He put on his hat and left without another word, while Abe and Morris looked at each other in blank amazement. "That's a real-estater for you," Abe said. "Henochstein's got it pretty good nerve, Mawruss, but this feller acts so independent like a doctor or a lawyer." Morris nodded and started to hang up his hat and coat, but even as his hand was poised half-way to the hook it became paralyzed.
"Oh, I can do it all right." "Sure he can do it," Abe said encouragingly. "And I'll bring you a list as big as the telephone directory to-morrow," Henochstein added as he went out. "But all the same, boys I mean Mr. Perlmutter I don't think you need it all that space." "That's a fresh real-estater for you, Abe," Morris said after Henochstein left.
"Well," Louis admitted, "selling houses ain't in my line? Maybe if I knew enough about it I could sell it." "But there's real-estaters what knows all about selling a house," Morris began. "You bet there is," Abe interrupted savagely. "And you could get a real-estater to sell it for you," Morris concluded with malevolent glance at his partner.
"I was just talking to Wasserbauer, and he says he got it a friend what is a sort of a real-estater, a smart young feller by the name Sam Slotkin. He says if Slotkin couldn't find it us a couple of lofts, nobody couldn't." "I'm satisfied, Mawruss," Abe said. "If Slotkin can get us lofts we move, otherwise we stay here.
"Marks Henochstein is a real-estater, Abe," Morris replied, "and when a real-estater tells you something, you got to make allowances fifty per cent. for facts." "I know," Abe cried; "but we don't have to hire no loft what we don't want to, Mawruss. Henochstein can't compel you to pay twicet as much what we're paying now. Ain't it?
Louis cried; "but who's going to buy it? Real-estater after real-estater comes to look at it, and it all amounts to nix. They wouldn't take the house for the mortgages." For nearly a year and a half Louis and Abe repeated this conversation every time Louis came back from the road, and on the days when Louis paid interest on mortgages and premiums on fire insurance he grew positively tearful.
