yelled and then I'd take them both out and let you go fish for your money. I'm being straight with you."
"Well—"
"If you don't want to, all right. Those new garages down by the river are giving a month's concession. I'll put my cars there."
"I guess you're all right. Leave them here."
"Don't guess. I don't want you to be watching me all month as though I was trying to put something over on you."
"It's all right, Mr. Cory. You won't run away."
"Damn right, I won't," said Hubert. "All your customers should be like me; then you wouldn't have to worry."
Lillian began at once to look for a new apartment. First she tried houses that were as new but not as grand as the one she had grown used to. After all, a new house cannot be utterly unpleasant. The rents frightened her. Even two rooms and kitchenette were fifty in some places and fifty-five in others.
She consulted Hubert after strolling through Inwood and regarding apartments both inside and out.
"How much can we pay?" she asked.
"Well, I think we ought to be able to get something for forty dollars," he answered.
"Hubert, don't you remember Anna couldn't get anything for forty?"
"Sure she could have if she wanted. She just happened to like that forty-five-dollar one, though."
"We won't get in a new house for forty dollars."
