Kaufman could give somebody else besides her own daughter and Vetsburg the white meat from everything, wouldn't it?" "It's a shame before the boarders! She knows, Mrs. Pinshriber, how my husband likes breast from the chicken. You think once he gets it? No. I always tell him, not 'til chickens come doublebreasted like overcoats can he get it in this house, with Vetsburg such a star boarder."
"I don't say nothing how her mother treats Vetsburg, her oldest boarder, and for what he pays for that second floor front and no lunches she can afford to cater a little; but that such a girl shouldn't be made to take up a little stenography or help with the housework!" "S-ay, when that girl even turns a hand, pale like a ghost her mother gets."
"I I'm all right, baby. Only I just tell you it's enough to make anybody cry we should have a friend like we got in Vetsburg. I I tell you, baby, they just don't come better than him. Not, baby? Don't be ashamed to say so to mama." "I ain't, mama! And, honest, his his whole family is just that way. Sweet-like and generous.
He 'ain't been here with us ten years, ever since we started in this big house, not not to know he's the only one thinks you're here for anything except impudence and running stairs and standing sass from the bad boys of lazy mothers. You know, don't you, Vetsy?" "Ruby! Mr. Vetsburg, you you must excuse " From the depths of his chair Mr. Vetsburg's voice came slow and carefully weighed.
They ended in a smile that trembled as she sat regarding the two of them. "I should say so, yes! I You and Ruby go, Mr. Vetsburg. Atlantic City, Easter Day, I bet is worth the trip. I You two go, I should say so, but you don't want an old woman to drag along with you." "Ma! Just listen to her, Vetsy! Ain't she ain't she just the limit?
Vetsburg, she minds you before she minds anybody else in the world." "Ma," said Miss Kaufman, close upon that remark, "some succotash, please." From her vantage down-table, Mrs. Katz leaned a bit forward from the line. "Look, Mrs. Finshriber, how for a woman her age she snaps her black eyes at him. It ain't hard to guess when a woman's got a marriageable daughter not?"
Honest, ma, if you carry that ice-water up to Katz to-night on the sly, with that big son of hers to come down and get it, I I'll go right up and tell her what I think of her if she leaves to-morrow." "Mr. Vetsburg, you you mustn't listen to her." "Can't take a day off for a rest at Atlantic City, because their old Easter dinner might go down the wrong side.
Vetsburg bit his cigar, slumped deeper; and inserted a thumb in the arm of his waistcoat. "Why, Mrs. Kaufman, don't you and Ruby come down by Atlantic City with me to-morrow over Easter? Huh? A few more or less don't make no difference to my sister the way they get ready for crowds." Miss Kaufman shot forward, her face vivid.
"Mama, mama, and you pretending all these years you didn't mind!" "I don't, baby. Not one minute while I got a future to look forward to with you. For myself, you think I ask anything except my little girl's happiness? Anyways, when happiness comes to you with a man like Meyer Vetsburg, don't don't it come to me, too, baby?" "Please, I "
Half the time when we go in stores together they take us for sisters, and then she she begins to talk like that to get out of going!" "Ruby don't understand; but it ain't right, Mr. Vetsburg, I should be away over Saturday and Sunday. On Easter always they expect a little extra, and with Annie's sore ankle, I I "
