Glmartin was still laughing professionally at the prospective buyer’s funny story when the telephone on his desk buzzed. He said: Excuse me for a minute, old man,
to the customer—Hopkins, the Connecticut manufacturer.
Hello; who is this?
he spoke into the transmitter. Oh, how are you?—Yes—I was out—Is that so?—Too bad—Too bad—Yes; just my luck to be out. I might have known it!—Do you think so?—Well, then, sell the 200 Occidental common—You know best—What about Trolley?—Hold on?—All right; just as you say—I hope so—I don’t like to lose, and—Ha! ha!—I guess so—Good-by.
It’s from my brokers,
explained Gilmartin, hanging up the receiver. I’d have saved five hundred dollars if I had been here at half-past ten. They called me up to advise me to sell out, and the price is off over three points. I could have got out at a profit this morning; but no, sir; not I. I had to be away, trying to buy some camphor.
Hopkins was impressed. Gilmartin perceived it and went on, with an air of comical wrath which he thought was preferable to indifference: It isn’t the money I mind so much as the tough luck of it. I didn’t make my trade in camphor after all and I lost in stocks, when if I’d only waited five minutes more in the office I’d have got the message from my brokers and saved my five hundred. Expensive, my time is, eh?
with a woful shake of the head.
But you’re ahead of the game, aren’t you?
asked the customer, interestedly.
Well, I guess yes. Just about twelve thousand.
That was more than Gilmartin had made; but having exaggerated, he immediately felt very kindly disposed toward the Connecticut man.
Whew!
