“Where are you stopping now?”
“We haven’t a place yet. My partner and I have just started to look for an empty store.”
“Oh, then you are going to stay several days or a week.”
“Yes.”
“Where were you last?”
“Across the river.”
“Do pretty well in Phillipsburg?”
“We did very well—until we began to run out of goods.”
“I couldn’t do anything in Phillipsburg,” grumbled Paul Barberry. “It’s only a one-horse place, anyway. So you ran out of goods there?”
“We ran out of some goods—our best sellers.”
