But I live on it and put a few simoleons every week under the loose brick in the old kitchen hearth. The stage is all right. I love it; but there's something else I love better that's a little country home, some day, with Plymouth Rock chickens and six ducks wandering around the yard. "Now, let me tell you, Mr.
"Old Finklebaum would have taken the case out of my hands, and fooled me out of my hundred simoleons. I follows this gink around until he becomes sociable and sort of adopts me. I gets into his furnished room down on Eldridge court and searches it during his absence. There ain't no Little Brass God there!" "Did you ever get your eyes on it?" asked George. "Never!" was the reply.
Now it so happens that an uncle of mine some years ago left me a considerable number of simoleons, and though I shall not be legally entitled actually to close in on the opulence for a matter of nine months or so, I anticipated that my father would have no objection to staking me to the necessary amount on the security of my little bit of money.
They're a fool notion of the old man, for we can't sell one in a month." Hopalong dug up a handful and threw one on the counter, lighting another: "Yu light a Cortez panatella with me," he said, pocketing the remainder. "That's five simoleons she didn't get. So long." He journeyed to Tom Lee's and found his outfit making merry.
"Yah!" exclaimed Tex Le Blanc, pushing forward. "I'll just bet yu to a standstill that Waffles an' Salvation'll round up all th' festive simoleons yu can get together! An' I'll throw in Frenchy's hat as an inducement." "Well, if yore shore set on it make her a pool," replied Red, "an' th' winners divide with their outfit. Here's a starter," he added, tossing a buckskin bag on the table.
When she had finished the flower she began sketching in the moss-covered face of the boulder against which it grew, and other bits of vegetation near. "I think, Coty," she said, "it is very probable that I can come a few simoleons with you. You are becoming better looking ever minute."
"It's up to you to ride herd on your own simoleons now." "You've left it in the same place? In the rock foundation-wall?" "Yes. I couldn't find a safer place." "And you haven't been back to it all these months?" "Not until las' Saturday night. It was jus' six months then. I figgered it out I'd make sure once every six months.
"Any old time she wants anybody strangled or stabbed and you ain't handy, she can call on your friend Biff. Here's your split of last month's pickings at the gym. One hundred and eighty-one large, juicy simoleons; count 'em, one hundred and eighty-one!" And he threw the money on the desk. "Everything paid?" asked Bobby. "Here's the receipts," and from inside his vest Mr. Bates produced them.
Then he volunteered: "Do you know what that song vould cost if she vas to give it in the Metropolitan Opera House, A. A.? A thousand dollars, von thousand simoleons. And we get it for nothing. It ain't possible to realize that you can get something for nothing in these days, is it? I vas saying to Morrie Shine only this morning that " "Sh!" hissed an exasperated Brazilian in front of them.
I like a man that can get there, just as I like a horse that can get there. I've often wondered, Zen, what kind you'd take up with, when it came to that, an' hoped he'd be a live crittur. After I'm dead an' buried I don't want no other dead one spendin' my simoleons." "How about Mr. Linder?" said Zen, naively. Her father looked up sharply. "Zen," he said, "you're not serious?" Zen laughed.
