"Did you hear from those suckers out in Kansas City what made the kick about them London Smokes, Mawruss?" he asked.
"Sure I did," Morris replied; "they says they decided to keep the goods."
"I guess it left off raining in Kansas City," Abe commented. "Them suckers only made that kick because they thought they couldn't sell nothing in wet weather. Any other kicks, Mawruss?"
"Yes," Morris replied shortly.
"Louis Feinholz!" he gasped.
Morris nodded and handed Abe a letter. It read as follows:
| THE LONGCHAMPS |
| L. Feinholz, Proprietor |
| "Everything For Madame...." |
| New York, April 1st, 1908 |
| GENTS: Your shipment of this date arrived and we must say we are surprised at the goods which you sent us. They are in no respect up to sample which we keep pending a settlement of any differences which we might have in respects to this matter. |
| Yours truly, L. Feinholz. |
| Dic LF to RC |
"What does that sucker mean, Mawruss?" Abe asked. "We ain't sent him no sample of them capes, Mawruss. We made 'em up according to his instructions, Mawruss. Ain't it?"
Morris nodded solemnly and again Abe read the letter.
