"
Well
,
I
must
say
it
does
look
smart
on
me
,
"
commented
Hortense
,
her
vainglorious
soul
yearning
for
it
.
"
I
can
wear
anything
like
this
,
though
.
"
She
twisted
and
turned
the
more
,
forgetting
him
entirely
and
the
effect
her
interest
would
have
on
his
cost
price
.
Then
she
added
:
"
How
much
is
it
?
"
"
Well
,
it
's
really
a
two-hundred-dollar
coat
,
"
began
Mr.
Rubenstein
artfully
.
Then
noting
a
shadow
of
relinquishment
pass
swiftly
over
Hortense
's
face
,
he
added
quickly
:
"
That
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money
,
but
of
course
we
do
n't
ask
so
much
for
it
down
here
.
One
hundred
and
fifty
is
our
price
.
But
if
that
coat
was
at
Jarek
's
,
that
's
what
you
'd
pay
for
it
and
more
.
We
have
n't
got
the
location
here
and
we
do
n't
have
to
pay
the
high
rents
.
But
it
's
worth
every
cent
of
two
hundred
.
"
"
Why
,
I
think
that
's
a
terrible
price
to
ask
for
it
,
just
awful
,
"
exclaimed
Hortense
sadly
,
beginning
to
remove
the
coat
.
She
was
feeling
as
though
life
were
depriving
her
of
nearly
all
that
was
worth
while
.
"
Why
,
at
Biggs
and
Beck
's
they
have
lots
of
three
-
quarter
mink
and
beaver
coats
for
that
much
,
and
classy
styles
,
too
.
"
"
Maybe
,
maybe
.
But
not
that
coat
,
"
insisted
Mr.
Rubenstein
stubbornly
.
"
Just
look
at
it
again
.
Look
at
the
collar
.
You
mean
to
say
you
can
find
a
coat
like
that
up
there
?
If
you
can
,
I
'll
buy
the
coat
for
you
and
sell
it
to
you
again
for
a
hundred
dollars
.
Actually
,
this
is
a
special
coat
.
It
's
copied
from
one
of
the
smartest
coats
that
was
in
New
York
last
summer
before
the
season
opened
.
It
has
class
.
You
wo
n't
find
no
coat
like
this
coat
.
"
"
Oh
,
well
,
just
the
same
,
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
is
more
than
I
can
pay
,
"
commented
Hortense
dolefully
,
at
the
same
time
slipping
on
her
old
broadcloth
jacket
with
the
fur
collar
and
cuffs
,
and
edging
toward
the
door
.
"
Wait
!
You
like
the
coat
?
"
wisely
observed
Mr.
Rubenstein
,
after
deciding
that
even
a
hundred
dollars
was
too
much
for
her
purse
,
unless
it
could
be
supplemented
by
some
man
's
.
"
It
's
really
a
two
-
hundred-dollar
coat
.
I
'm
telling
you
that
straight
.
Our
regular
price
is
one
hundred
and
fifty
.
But
if
you
could
bring
me
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
dollars
,
since
you
want
it
so
much
,
well
,
I
'll
let
you
have
it
for
that
.
And
that
's
like
finding
it
.
A
stunning-looking
girl
like
you
ought
n't
to
have
no
trouble
in
finding
a
dozen
fellows
who
would
be
glad
to
buy
that
coat
and
give
it
to
you
.
I
know
I
would
,
if
I
thought
you
would
be
nice
to
me
.
"
He
beamed
ingratiatingly
up
at
her
,
and
Hortense
,
sensing
the
nature
of
the
overture
and
resenting
it
--
from
him
--
drew
back
slightly
.
At
the
same
time
she
was
not
wholly
displeased
by
the
compliment
involved
.
But
she
was
not
coarse
enough
,
as
yet
,
to
feel
that
just
any
one
should
be
allowed
to
give
her
anything
.
Indeed
not
.
It
must
be
some
one
she
liked
,
or
at
least
some
one
that
was
enslaved
by
her
.
And
yet
,
even
as
Mr.
Rubenstein
spoke
,
and
for
some
time
afterwards
,
her
mind
began
running
upon
possible
individuals
--
favorites
--
who
,
by
the
necromancy
of
her
charm
for
them
,
might
be
induced
to
procure
this
coat
for
her
.
Charlie
Wilkens
for
instance
--
he
of
the
Orphia
cigar
store
--
who
was
most
certainly
devoted
to
her
after
his
fashion
,
but
a
fashion
,
however
,
which
did
not
suggest
that
he
might
do
much
for
her
without
getting
a
good
deal
in
return
.
