章节摘录

  "Tend to you presendy."  I waited till he was done with what he was at, then he took me into a back room, and overhauled a pile of rejected suits, and selected the rattiest one for me. I put it  on.lt didn't fit, and wasn't in any way attractive, but it was new, and I was anxious to have it; so I didn't find any fault, but said, with some diffidence:  "It would be an accommodation to me if you could wait some days for the money.
