In
the
meantime
,
however
,
Hortense
,
having
gloated
as
long
as
her
noontime
hour
would
permit
,
had
gone
away
,
still
dreaming
and
satiating
her
flaming
vanity
by
thinking
of
how
devastating
she
would
look
in
such
a
coat
.
But
she
had
not
stopped
to
ask
the
price
.
Hence
,
the
next
day
,
feeling
that
she
must
look
at
it
once
more
,
she
returned
,
only
this
time
alone
,
and
yet
with
no
idea
of
being
able
to
purchase
it
herself
.
On
the
contrary
,
she
was
only
vaguely
revolving
the
problem
of
how
,
assuming
that
the
coat
was
sufficiently
low
in
price
,
she
could
get
it
.
At
the
moment
she
could
think
of
no
one
.
But
seeing
the
coat
once
more
,
and
also
seeing
Mr.
Rubenstein
,
Jr.
,
inside
eyeing
her
in
a
most
propitiatory
and
genial
manner
,
she
finally
ventured
in
.
"
You
like
the
coat
,
eh
?
"
was
Rubenstein
's
ingratiating
comment
as
she
opened
the
door
.
"
Well
,
that
shows
you
have
good
taste
,
I
'll
say
.
That
's
one
of
the
nobbiest
little
coats
we
've
ever
had
to
show
in
this
store
yet
.
A
real
beauty
,
that
.
And
how
it
would
look
on
such
a
beautiful
girl
as
you
!
"
He
took
it
out
of
the
window
and
held
it
up
.
"
I
seen
you
when
you
was
looking
at
it
yesterday
.
"
A
gleam
of
greedy
admiration
was
in
his
eye
.
And
noting
this
,
and
feeling
that
a
remote
and
yet
not
wholly
unfriendly
air
would
win
her
more
consideration
and
courtesy
than
a
more
intimate
one
,
Hortense
merely
said
,
"
Yes
?
"
"
Yes
,
indeed
.
And
I
said
right
away
,
there
's
a
girl
that
knows
a
really
swell
coat
when
she
sees
it
.
"
The
flattering
unction
soothed
,
in
spite
of
herself
.
"
Look
at
that
!
Look
at
that
!
"
went
on
Mr.
Rubinstein
,
turning
the
coat
about
and
holding
it
before
her
.
"
Where
in
Kansas
City
will
you
find
anything
to
equal
that
today
?
Look
at
this
silk
lining
here
--
genuine
Mallinson
silk
--
and
these
slant
pockets
.
And
the
buttons
.
You
think
those
things
do
n't
make
a
different-looking
coat
?
There
ai
n't
another
one
like
it
in
Kansas
City
today
--
not
one
.
And
there
wo
n't
be
.
We
designed
it
ourselves
and
we
never
repeat
our
models
.
We
protect
our
customers
.
But
come
back
here
.
"
(
He
led
the
way
to
a
triple
mirror
at
the
back
.
)
"
It
takes
the
right
person
to
wear
a
coat
like
this
--
to
get
the
best
effect
out
of
it
.
Let
me
try
it
on
you
.
"
And
by
the
artificial
light
Hortense
was
now
privileged
to
see
how
really
fetching
she
did
look
in
it
.
She
cocked
her
head
and
twisted
and
turned
and
buried
one
small
ear
in
the
fur
,
while
Mr.
Rubenstein
stood
by
,
eyeing
her
with
not
a
little
admiration
and
almost
rubbing
his
hands
.
"
There
now
,
"
he
continued
.
"
Look
at
that
.
What
do
you
say
to
that
,
eh
?
Did
n't
I
tell
you
it
was
the
very
thing
for
you
?
A
find
for
you
.
A
pick-up
.
You
'll
never
get
another
coat
like
that
in
this
city
.
If
you
do
,
I
'll
make
you
a
present
of
this
one
.
"
He
came
very
near
,
extending
his
plump
hands
,
palms
up
.
