Business
piled
up
that
morning
.
It
was
worse
than
I
had
thought
it
might
be
.
The
sun
turned
hot
and
fierce
and
very
little
wind
moved
,
the
kind
of
weather
that
drives
people
on
their
vacations
whether
they
want
to
go
or
not
.
I
had
a
line
of
customers
waiting
to
be
served
.
One
thing
I
knew
,
come
hell
or
high
water
,
I
had
to
get
some
help
.
If
Allen
didn
’
t
work
out
,
I
’
d
fire
him
and
get
someone
else
.
When
Mr
.
Baker
came
in
about
eleven
,
he
was
in
a
hurry
.
I
had
to
stand
off
some
customers
and
go
into
the
storeroom
with
him
.
He
put
a
big
envelope
and
a
small
one
in
my
hands
,
and
he
was
so
rushed
that
he
barked
a
kind
of
shorthand
.
"
Tom
Watson
says
the
deed
’
s
okay
.
He
doesn
’
t
know
whether
it
’
s
papered
.
He
doesn
’
t
think
so
.
Here
are
conveyances
.
Get
signatures
where
I
’
ve
checked
.
The
money
’
s
marked
and
the
numbers
noted
.
Here
’
s
a
check
all
made
out
.
Just
sign
it
.
Sorry
I
have
to
rush
,
Ethan
.
I
hate
doing
business
like
this
.
"
"
You
really
think
I
should
go
ahead
?
"
"
Goddammit
,
Ethan
,
after
all
the
trouble
I
’
ve
gone
to
—
"
"
Sorry
,
sir
.
Sorry
.
I
know
you
’
re
right
.
"
I
put
the
check
on
a
canned
-
milk
carton
and
signed
it
with
my
indelible
pencil
.
Mr
.
Baker
wasn
’
t
too
rushed
to
inspect
the
check
.
"
Offer
two
thousand
at
first
.
And
raise
your
offer
two
hundred
at
a
time
.
You
realize
,
of
course
,
you
’
ve
only
got
a
five
-
hundred
balance
in
the
bank
.
God
help
you
if
you
run
short
.
"
"
If
it
’
s
clear
,
can
’
t
I
borrow
on
the
store
?
"
"
Sure
you
can
if
you
want
interest
to
eat
you
up
.
"
"
I
don
’
t
know
how
to
thank
you
.
