"I'm not trying to do any monkey business at all," Ferdy cried with a great show of righteous indignation. "I'm doing this because I feel that it's the only proper thing.

Excerpt: ...him earnestly for a minute. "Say, lookyhere, Rothman," he said at length, "what monkey business are you trying to do?" "I'm not trying to do any monkey business at all," Ferdy cried with a great show of righteous indignation. "I'm doing this because I feel that it's the only proper thing. What you want to do now is to take Milton out of the old man's place and find him a job with some other cloak and suit concern. That boy could command his twenty-five a week anywhere.

Zwiebel rose from his chair and his eyes blazed. "You dirty dawg!" he roared. "Out--out from my place!" He grabbed the collar of Ferdy's coat together with a handful of his curly hair, and with a well-directed kick he propelled the budding advocate through the office doorway. After a minute Ferdy picked himself up and ran to the stairway. There he paused and shook his fist at Zwiebel. "I'll make you sweat for this!" he bellowed. Zwiebel laughed raucously. "Say something more about that young lady," he cried, "and I'll kick you to the subway yet." It was nearly half-past twelve when Charles Zwiebel entered the sample-room of Levy Rothman & Co., on Eighteenth Street.
