"Oh, no, Hubert, honest? Did we really spend that much?"
"Sure. Don't look so sick. That ain't a terrible lot."
"It seems a terrible lot to me."
"Well, you haven't been in business. You haven't been used to large amounts like me. Sure, we spent around twenty-five thousand dollars."
Anyhow, he thought to himself, it was over fifteen thousand that they spent. Well over. He'd had twelve hundred dollars in his bank account when the McKay Brothers had paid him.
"I can hardly believe we spent that much," Lillian said. "It seems terrible."
"Now don't you worry about it. There'll be plenty more for us to spend. Only for a while we have to cut down, see?"
"Sure, I see. Didn't I pave the way for us today to move from this apartment without too many questions from the Fishers?"
"Well, Lil, I didn't think you did that so good. See, the way you did that, all about the baby carriage and the janitor and all, will make them think you're planning on moving to an even better apartment than this."
"Oh, I'll take care of that."
"All right. You take care of that and I'll take care of getting a job. Of course I won't be with you in the daytime then, but I've had a long enough vacation. Time I got back to doing something."
"Yes, maybe you will feel better if you are doing something. Well, I guess we might as well go to bed."
