Oskar Hedin, head of the fur department of old John McNabb’s big store, looked up from his scrutiny of the Russian sable coat spread upon a table before him, and encountered the twinkling eyes of old John himself. It’s a shame to keep this coat here-and that natural black fox piece, too. Who is there in Terrace City that’s got thirty thousand dollars to spend for a fur coat, or twenty thousand for a fox fur? Old John grinned. Mrs. Orcutt bought one, didn’t she?
Yes, but she bought it down in New York-
An’ paid thirty-five thousand for a coat that runs half a dozen shades lighter, an’ is topped an’ pointed to bring it up to the best it’s got. Did I ever tell ye the story of Mrs. Orcutt’s coat?
No.
It goes back quite a ways-the left-handed love me an’ Fred Orcutt has for one another.
