And thank you ever so much, Mr. Baruch!" "But," protested Mr. Baruch, "it is a little thing it is nothing. And it is much pleasure to me to do this for you and the poor man.
"I've heard of 'em being worth a lot sometimes thousands of dollars!" "Sometimes," agreed Mr. Baruch. "Those you can see in museums. This one, now I would offer him twenty rubles for it, and I would give perhaps thirty if he bargained too hard. That is because I have a place for it in my house."
