"Yes, Mawruss," he said at length. "Some people get only what they deserve. I always said it, some day Philip Hahn will be sorry he treated us the way he did. I bet yer he's sorry now."
"So far what I hear, Abe," Morris replied, "he ain't told us nor nobody else that he's sorry. In fact, I seen him coming out of Sammet Brothers' yesterday, and he looked at me like he would treat us worser already, if he could. What makes you think he's sorry, Abe?"
"Well," Abe went on, "if he ain't sorry he ought to be."
He handed the Daily Cloak and Suit Record to Morris and indicated the New Business column with his thumb.
"Rochester, N. Y.," it read. "Philip Hahn, doing business here as the Flower City Credit Outfitting Company, announces that he has taken into partnership Emanuel Gubin, who recently married Mr. Hahn's niece. The business will be conducted under the old firm style."
Morris handed back the paper with a smile.
"I seen Leon Sammet on the subway this morning
and he told me all about it," he commented. "He says Gubin eloped with her."
