And
now
--
now
--
if
only
he
had
the
price
of
that
coat
.
He
could
feel
that
she
was
thinking
of
some
one
certain
way
to
get
the
coat
.
And
yet
how
was
he
to
manage
it
?
How
?
If
he
could
only
arrange
to
get
this
coat
for
her
--
if
he
only
could
promise
her
that
he
would
get
it
for
her
by
a
certain
date
,
say
,
if
it
did
n't
cost
too
much
,
then
what
?
Did
he
have
the
courage
to
suggest
to
her
to-night
,
or
to-morrow
,
say
,
after
he
had
learned
the
price
of
the
coat
,
that
if
she
would
--
why
then
--
why
then
,
well
,
he
would
get
her
the
coat
or
anything
else
she
really
wanted
.
Only
he
must
be
sure
that
she
was
not
really
fooling
him
as
she
was
always
doing
in
smaller
ways
.
He
would
n't
stand
for
getting
her
the
coat
and
then
get
nothing
in
return
--
never
!
As
he
thought
of
it
,
he
actually
thrilled
and
trembled
beside
her
.
And
she
,
standing
there
and
looking
at
the
coat
,
was
thinking
that
unless
he
had
sense
enough
now
to
get
her
this
thing
and
to
get
what
she
meant
--
how
she
intended
to
pay
for
it
--
well
then
,
this
was
the
last
.
He
need
not
think
she
was
going
to
fool
around
with
any
one
who
could
n't
or
would
n't
do
that
much
for
her
.
Never
.
They
resumed
their
walk
toward
Gaspie
's
.
And
throughout
the
dinner
,
she
talked
of
little
else
--
how
attractive
the
coat
was
,
how
wonderful
it
would
look
on
her
.
"
Believe
me
,
"
she
said
at
one
point
,
defiantly
,
feeling
that
Clyde
was
perhaps
uncertain
at
the
moment
about
his
ability
to
buy
it
for
her
,
"
I
'm
going
to
find
some
way
to
get
that
coat
.
I
think
,
maybe
,
that
Rubenstein
store
would
let
me
have
it
on
time
if
I
were
to
go
in
there
and
see
him
about
it
,
make
a
big
enough
payment
down
.
Another
girl
out
of
our
store
got
a
coat
that
way
once
,
"
she
lied
promptly
,
hoping
thus
to
induce
Clyde
to
assist
her
with
it
.
But
Clyde
,
disturbed
by
the
fear
of
some
extraordinary
cost
in
connection
with
it
,
hesitated
to
say
just
what
he
would
do
.
He
could
not
even
guess
the
price
of
such
a
thing
--
it
might
cost
two
or
three
hundred
even
--
and
he
feared
to
obligate
himself
to
do
something
which
later
he
might
not
be
able
to
do
.
"
You
do
n't
know
what
they
might
want
for
that
,
do
you
?
"
he
asked
,
nervously
,
at
the
same
time
thinking
if
he
made
any
cash
gift
to
her
at
this
time
without
some
guarantee
on
her
part
,
what
right
would
he
have
to
expect
anything
more
in
return
than
he
had
ever
received
?
He
knew
how
she
cajoled
him
into
getting
things
for
her
and
then
would
not
even
let
him
kiss
her
.
He
flushed
and
churned
a
little
internally
with
resentment
at
the
thought
of
how
she
seemed
to
feel
that
she
could
play
fast
and
loose
with
him
.
And
yet
,
as
he
now
recalled
,
she
had
just
said
she
would
do
anything
for
any
one
who
would
get
that
coat
for
her
--
or
nearly
that
.
"
No-o
,
"
she
hesitated
at
first
,
for
the
moment
troubled
as
to
whether
to
give
the
exact
price
or
something
higher
.
For
if
she
asked
for
time
,
Mr.
Rubenstein
might
want
more
.
And
yet
if
she
said
much
more
,
Clyde
might
not
want
to
help
her
.
"
But
I
know
it
would
n't
be
more
than
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
.
I
would
n't
pay
more
than
that
for
it
.
"
Clyde
heaved
a
sigh
of
relief
.
After
all
,
it
was
n't
two
or
three
hundred
.
He
began
to
think
now
that
if
she
could
arrange
to
make
any
reasonable
down
payment
--
say
,
fifty
or
sixty
dollars
--
he
might
manage
to
bring
it
together
within
the
next
two
or
three
weeks
anyhow
.
But
if
the
whole
hundred
and
twenty-five
were
demanded
at
once
,
Hortense
would
have
to
wait
,
and
besides
he
would
have
to
know
whether
he
was
to
be
rewarded
or
not
--
definitely
.
"
That
's
a
good
idea
,
Hortense
,
"
he
exclaimed
without
,
however
,
indicating
in
any
way
why
it
appealed
to
him
so
much
.
"
Why
do
n't
you
do
that
?
Why
do
n't
you
find
out
first
what
they
want
for
it
,
and
how
much
they
want
down
?
Maybe
I
could
help
you
with
it
.
"
