Childan
smiled
at
him
.
"
Consignment
,
"
the
salesman
echoed
at
last
.
"
Would
you
prefer
not
to
leave
it
?
"
Childan
said
.
Stammering
,
the
man
finally
said
,
"
You
mean
I
leave
it
and
you
pay
me
later
on
when
—
"
"
You
get
two
-
thirds
of
the
proceeds
.
When
the
pieces
sell
.
That
way
you
make
much
more
.
You
have
to
wait
,
of
course
,
but
—
"
Childan
shrugged
.
"
It
’
s
up
to
you
.
I
can
give
it
some
window
display
,
possibly
.
And
if
it
moves
,
then
possibly
later
on
,
in
a
month
or
so
,
with
the
next
order
—
well
,
we
might
see
our
way
clear
to
buy
some
outright
.
"
The
salesman
had
now
spent
well
over
an
hour
showing
his
wares
,
Childan
realized
.
And
he
had
everything
out
.
All
his
displays
disarranged
and
dismantled
.
Another
hour
’
s
work
to
get
it
back
ready
to
take
somewhere
else
.
There
was
silence
.
Neither
man
spoke
.
"
Those
pieces
you
put
to
one
side
—
"
the
salesman
said
in
a
low
voice
.
"
They
’
re
the
ones
you
want
?
"
"
Yes
.
I
’
ll
let
you
leave
them
all
.
"
Childan
strolled
over
to
his
office
in
the
rear
of
the
store
.
"
I
’
ll
write
up
a
tag
.
So
you
’
ll
have
a
record
of
what
you
’
ve
left
with
me
.
"
As
he
came
back
with
his
tag
book
he
added
,
"
You
understand
that
when
merchandise
is
left
on
a
consignment
basis
the
store
doesn
’
t
assume
liability
in
case
of
theft
or
damage
.
"
He
had
a
little
mimeographed
release
for
the
salesman
to
sign
.
The
store
would
never
have
to
account
for
the
items
left
.
When
the
unsold
portion
was
returned
,
if
some
could
not
be
located
—
they
must
have
been
stolen
,
Childan
declared
to
himself
.
There
’
s
always
theft
going
on
in
stores
.
Especially
small
items
like
jewelry
.
There
was
no
way
that
Robert
Childan
could
lose
.
He
did
not
have
to
pay
for
this
man
’
s
jewelry
;
he
had
no
investment
in
this
kind
of
inventory
.
If
any
of
it
sold
he
made
a
profit
,
and
if
it
did
not
,
he
simply
returned
it
all
—
or
as
much
as
could
be
found
—
to
the
salesman
at
some
vague
later
date
.
