章節(jié)摘錄

　　"Tend to you presendy."　　I waited till he was done with what he was at， then he took me into a back room， and overhauled a pile of rejected suits， and selected the rattiest one for me. I put it　　on.lt didn't fit， and wasn't in any way attractive， but it was new， and I was anxious to have it; so I didn't find any fault， but said， with some diffidence：　　"It would be an accommodation to me if you could wait some days for the money. I haven't any small change about me. "　　The fellow worked up a most sarcastic expression of countenance， and said：　　"Oh， you haven't? Well， of course， I didn't expect it. I'd only expect gentlemen like you to carry large change. "　　I was nettled， and said：　　"My friend， you shouldn't judge a stranger always by the clothes he wears. I am quite able to pay for this suit; I simply didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a　　He modified his style a litde at that， and said， though still with something of an air：　　"I didn't mean any particular harm， but as long as rebukes are going， I might say it wasn't quite your affair to jump to the conclusion that we couldn't change any note that you might happen to be carrying around.

The man stood there hold in the bill， and looking like that， and the proprietor hustled up to see what was the matter， and said， briskly：　　"Well， what's up? What's the trouble? What wants?"　　I said： "There isn't any trouble. I'm waiting for my change. "　　"Come， come; get him his change， Tod; get lum his change."　　Tod retorted： "Get him his change! It's easy to say， sir; but look at the bill yourself. "　　……
