He was silent for several moments. It was obvious that his opinion of his brother was rising rapidly. His tone had become almost reverential. "I've got to find where that money is," he said abruptly. "If I go through fire and water to get it, I'll have it! I'll keep on Morris's flat. I'll go to his tailor! I'll you're laughing at me. But I mean it!
A singular figure had followed us to the door; it was a man dressed in exceedingly shabby European garments, which exhibited nevertheless the cut of a fashionable tailor.
Here am I in love with two women at once, and almost hysterically enthusiastic over a delirious tailor." Then I cut my cheek and murmured no more, until the operation was concluded. I had arranged to accompany Lola that afternoon to the Zoological Gardens. This was a favourite resort of hers.

Born in North Carolina, and bred to the trade of a tailor, he reached his fifteenth year before he was taught even to read.

His tailor had apparently told him that after a lapse of six months it was permissible to assume habiliments of a slightly resigned tenour.
