"On second thought, Sam," Morris said as they approached Potash & Perlmutter's place of business, "I wouldn't go up with me if I was you on account I don't want to say nothing to my partner just yet a while. Where are you staying, Sam?"
"I got a room at a hotel over on Third Avenue," Sam replied.
"Third Avenue!" Morris exclaimed. "That's a Nachbarschaft for a business man!"
He handed Sam a five-dollar bill.
"Go and get yourself a room over at the Prince Clarence," Morris said. "I'll be over there presently."
Nathan, the shipping clerk, was alone in the showroom when Morris entered.
"Ain't my partner come back yet, Nathan?" he demanded.
Nathan shook his head.
"Then tell him when he does come back that I've went up to the Prince Clarence to see a customer," Morris continued; "and if he asks what name tell him it's a new concern just starting."
