Want a check--when--now? My dear sir! when I bought that Monet was there anything said about my paying for it in twenty-four hours? To-morrow, when my argosies arrive laden with the spoils of the far East, but not now. I never pay for anything immediately--it would injure my credit. Sit down and let me offer you a cigar--my governor imports 'em and so you can be assured they are good. By the way--what's become of that Ziem I saw in your window last week? The Metropolitan ought to have that picture.
