“As owner?”
“Never mind about that. I’m interested in it and one of my reasons for calling on you is to get some girls for the club.”
“You want to buy some girls?”
“You said it.”
“From me?”
“From you, if I can get the right figures. If I can’t, I’ll try elsewhere. You’re not the only ‘dealer in live stock’ in the Levee.”
“I’ll make the figures right.”
“I’m interested in this place.”
“In the Cafe Sinister?”
“Yes, I want to know something about your methods. We don’t know it all in St. Louis. I think I can pick up a little information here. I’m going back to St. Louis in a month. I want to take some girls back with me, and I’d like to find out just how a first class joint like the Cafe Sinister is operated in Chicago.”
