back out on a deal and it looks as if Lonny made a deal .
At supper that evening , Lonny was trying to tell Helen how come it was that they had sold TIGER BAY foi fifty thousand dollars and that he didn ’ t get any money from anybody except Mr . Larson . “ Well ,” he said , the other three partners only owned one half of him and weie entitled to split twenty five thousand . Their opinion was that since they had said they wouldn ’ t take less than fifty
for him , that I should have asked for enough money to guarantee them their money and make a little profit for myself .” “ What about the commission for the other trainer ?,” Helen asked . “ Nothing was said about that at all , but I think he deserves some money from somebody .
At this point the phone rang . Lonny answered and was noticably shaken by the conversation . “ Wait a minute ,” Helen heard him say . “ You mean someone bought and paid for a new Cadillac and said to deliver it to me ! Who was it ?” Helen got up out of her chair when she heard this part of the conversation . ’’ What in the world ?” she said . Lonny just smiled and said , as he scratched his head , “ That Mr . Barrimore from Houston just bought us a new car .”
