"I had a lot to do there, but, above all, I bought the suit I have on."
He looked admiringly at his dark blue suit for about the hundredth time that evening.
"It is a very nice suit. What did you pay for it?"
"I had it made to measure at Klener's, and went to try it on myself."
"What was the price?"
"It is real Gács cloth, and quite impervious to rain; you should see it by daylight!"
"Yes, of course, but what did it cost?" asked the Polish lady, her thoughts still occupied with her husband.
"I saw the piece of cloth myself; this was the first length cut off it. It has a peculiar look in the sunlight."
"Yes, yes; but I asked the price of it."
But it was difficult to bring Mokry to think of other things when he was once launched on the subject of his new suit.
