Nowadays it ain't nothing no more that girls marry twice their own age." "I always say I can tell when Leo Markovitch comes down, by the way her mother's face gets long and the daughter's gets short." "Can you blame her? Leo Markovitch, with all his monograms on his shirt-sleeves and such black rims on his glasses, ain't the Rosenthal Vetsburg Hosiery Company, not by a long shot!
"He I just can't begin to tell you, ma, the kind of a fellow Leo is till you know him better, mommy dear." "Always Vetsburg says he's a wide-awake one!" "That's just what he is, ma. He's just a prince if if there ever was one. One little prince of a fellow." She fell to crying softly, easy tears that flowed freely. "I I can tell you, baby, I'm happy as you." "Mommy dear, kiss me."
"You don't mean you're not going!" he exclaimed, the lifted quality immediately dropping from his voice. "You you got to excuse me again, Mr. Vetsburg. It ain't no use I should try to get away on Saturdays, much less Easter Saturday." "Well, of all things!" "Right away, the last minute, Mr. Vetsburg, right one things after another." He let his bag slip to the floor. "Maybe, Mrs.
The corpuscles of a shah might have been running in the blood of her, yet Simon Kaufman, and Simon Kaufman's father before him, had sold wool remnants to cap-factories on commission. "Ruby, you don't eat enough to keep a bird alive. Ain't it a shame, Mr. Vetsburg, a girl should be so dainty?" Mr.

I know with a woman like you, whose own happiness always is last, that first your girl must be fixed ." "She's a young girl, Mr. Vetsburg. You you mustn't depend . If I had my say ."
"Why, mama why, mama, what is Meyer Vetsburg to to me? Why, he he's got gray hair, ma; he he's getting bald. Why, he he don't know I'm on earth. He he's " "You mean, baby, he don't know anybody else is on earth. What's, nowadays, baby, a man forty? Why why, ain't mama forty-one, baby, and didn't you just say yourself for sisters they take us?"
"When you go down to station, Mr. Vetsburg, so right away she ain't so disappointed I don't come, tell her maybe to-morrow I ." "I don't tell her nothing!" broke in Mr. Vetsburg and moved toward her with considerable strengthening of tone. "Mrs. Kaufman, I ask you, do you think it right you should go back like this on Ruby and me, just when we want most you should "
"If you 'ain't got ambitions for yourself, Ruby, think once of me and this long dream I been dreaming for us." "Yes, ma. Yes." "Ruby, Ruby, and I always thought when you was so glad for Atlantic City, it was for Vetsburg; to show him how much you liked his folks. How could I know it was ." "I never thought, mommy. Why why, Vetsy he's just like a relation or something."

Miss Kaufman fumbling in her flowered work-bag, finally curling her foot up under her, her needle flashing and shirring through one of the pink flounces. "Ruby, in such a light you shouldn't strain your eyes."
Miss Kaufman's eyes widened, darkened, and she tugged for the freedom of her wrists. "Ma, quit scaring me!" "Scaring you! That such a rising man like Vetsburg, with a business he worked himself into president from clerk, looks every day more like he's falling in love with you, should scare you!" "Ma, not not him!"
