eight o'clock
Morris Perlmutter 's front parlor represented an eclectic taste , and the fine arts had been liberally patronized in its decoration . On the wall hung various subjects in oil , including still life , landscapes , marine scenes and figures , all of which had been billed to Morris by a Fourteenth Street dealer as : 8/12 dozen assorted oil paintings @ $ 96 $ 64 8/12 dozen shadow boxes for paintings @ 12 8 ___ $ 72 But it was not at the oil paintings that B. Rashkin gazed . His eyes sought instead the framed and glazed certificate of membership of Morris Perlmutter in Harmony Lodge 41 , Independent Order Mattai Aaron . `` Them very people hold the mortgage , Mr. Perlmutter , '' Rashkin said , `` and with the influence what you got it in the order , why -- '' `` Lookyhere , Rashkin , '' Perlmutter interrupted , `` you 're a real estater , and if you do n't get up at eight o'clock then you get up at nine , and it 's all the same ; but me , I am in the cloak business , and I got to get downtown at seven o'clock , and so I 'm going to tell you again what I told it you before . Go and see Abe to-morrow , and put this proposition up to him like it was something you never told me nothing about , y' understand ? Then if he makes the suggestion to me , Rashkin , I would say all right . Because if it should be me what would make the suggestion to him , y' understand , he would n't have nothing to do with it .
